Are imaginary numbers rational or irrational?
Imaginary numbers are not intrinsically rational or irrational.Of course, all real numbers are either rational or irrational numbers.Imaginary numbers are not real numbers.Imaginary numbers have a real part and an imaginary part, sometimes written like z=x+i y.The two parts, i.e. the x and the y, are real numbers. As real numbers, they are either rational or irrational. Its just that the two parts of a complex number may both be either rational or irrational or one may be rational and the other irrational. One could always make up a new name for these cases, but right now there is no such classification.
Can you add two irrational numbers and get a rational number?
Yes - if I had an irrational number x, and I added that to the number (7-x), I would end up with 7.If the number is irrational, it can be subtracted from a rational/integer to make another irrational.
Is an irrational number plus an irrational number equal a rational or an irrational number?
An irrational number is a number that has no definite end. So it can't be multiplied or divided by anything to make a rational number that does have a definite end.
Is -14.3 rational or irrational?
Can you make a fraction from it? -14.3 = -143/100 A fraction is a ratio, therefore rational. This is a rational number. ■
What fractions are irrational numbers?
If, by fraction, you mean a number which can be written in the form p/q where p and q are integers and q>0, then none of them are irrational.If you mean a number which can be written as x/q where x is real and q is a positive integer, then it is irrational whenever x is irrational.
