Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions whereas irrational numbers can't be expressed as fractions
They are irrational numbers!
WRONG!!!!! Irrational numbers CANNOT be expressed as a quotient(fraction). Casually, irrational numbers are those were the decimals go to infinity AND there is no regular order in the decimal digits. e.g. pi = 3.1415192.... is Irrational 3.3333.... is rational.
No. Irrational numbers are real numbers, therefore it is not imaginary.
Yes, no irrational numbers are whole numbers.
No. The statement is wrong. It does not hold water.

They are numbers that are infinite

yes * * * * * No. Rational and irrational numbers are two DISJOINT subsets of the real numbers. That is, no rational number is irrational and no irrational is rational.
properties of irrational numbers
Yes Yes, the sum of two irrational numbers can be rational. A simple example is adding sqrt{2} and -sqrt{2}, both of which are irrational and sum to give the rational number 0. In fact, any rational number can be written as the sum of two irrational numbers in an infinite number of ways. Another example would be the sum of the following irrational quantities [2 + sqrt(2)] and [2 - sqrt(2)]. Both quantities are positive and irrational and yield a rational sum. (Four in this case.) The statement that there are an infinite number of ways of writing any rational number as the sum of two irrational numbers is true. The reason is as follows: If two numbers sum to a rational number then either both numbers are rational or both numbers are irrational. (The proof of this by contradiction is trivial.) Thus, given a rational number, r, then for ANY irrational number, i, the irrational pair (i, r-i) sum to r. So, the statement can actually be strengthened to say that there are an infinite number of ways of writing a rational number as the sum of two irrational numbers.
NO !!! However, the square root of '5' is irrational 5^(1/2) = 2.236067978... Casually an IRRATIONAL NUMBER is one where the decimals go to infinity and there is no regular order in the decimal numbers. pi = 3.141592.... It the most well known irrational number. However, 3.3333.... Is NOT irrational because there is a regular order in the decimals. Here is a definitive statement of irrational numbers. Irrational numbers are real numbers that cannot be represented as simple fractions. An irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio, such as p/q, where p and q are integers, qβ 0. It is a contradiction of rational numbers. Irrational numbers are usually expressed as R\Q, where the backward slash symbol denotes βset minusβ. It can also be expressed as R β Q, which states the difference between a set of real numbers and a set of rational numbers.
No. Irrational numbers are real numbers, therefore it is not imaginary.
Yes, no irrational numbers are whole numbers.
Not necessarily. The sum of two irrational numbers can be rational or irrational.
