A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the division of two integers, while the divisor is not zero. An irrational number is any number that is not rational.

Whole numbers are rational, because the divisor is 1. It has nothing to do with square roots.

Is 11.401754251 rational or irrational?

11.401754251 is the ratio of 11,401,754,251 to 1,000,000,000 ... completely rational. Here's a hint: If you can completely write the number on paper using digits, as you succeeded in doing with this one, then the number is rational.


0.123333 is this rational number,irrational number?

Oh, dude, 0.123333 is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction, like 12333/100000. Irrational numbers are like those mysterious, never-ending decimals that never repeat, you know, like pi or the number of times I've procrastinated doing my laundry. So yeah, 0.123333 is just a chill rational number, no biggie.


Why rational number plus an irrational number is equal to an irrational number?

You can easily prove (doing some basic manipulations with fractions) that the addition of two rational numbers gives you a rational number. As a corollary, a subtraction of two rational numbers also results in a rational number.Now, assume an addition: a + b = c Also, assume that "a" and "c" are rational. Solving for "b": b = c - a Since "c" and "a" are rational, so is "c - a" - this is a contradiction to the assumption.


What is the square root of 17.8?

It is an irrational number, but in approximate decimal form, it would be: 13.379088160259652 13.38 would usually be good enough if you are doing this for a math class.


What does the square root of a number?

The square roots of a number are numbers and, as numbers, they are not capable of doing anything.


How do you unsquare the square root?

You square the number, ie ^2. The square root is actually ^0.5, so if you square the number, you are doing ^0.5*2 = ^1, which is implicit on every number.

Rational number between 3 and 4?

A rational number is any number that, when put into decimal form, terminates after a finite amount of digits OR begins to repeat the same pattern of digits. An easy way to find rational numbers is that any number that can be expressed in a fraction (1/2, 9/4, etc) of two integers.There is an infinite number of rational numbers between any two rational numbers. For example, say we have the numbers 1 and 2. What if you add them and divide by 2? Is that a rational number? Is it between 1 and 2? And to see that there is an infinite number of numbers between 1 and 2, take the number you just found, it is 3/2, now find a number between it and 2. You can keep doing this.

What is comparing ordering rational number using a number line?

This means:Draw a number line with some numbers labelled on it.Place dots on the number line where the rational numbers to be compared lie.State how the numbers compare in size with one another.There are various ways of doing this; here are two:1/2 is less than 5/41/2 < 5/4


What is the square root of a number that has no root?

You can have an approximation of the root using the calculator (doing it by hand is another story). However, keeping the number as a square root and simplifying the root is usually acceptable.
