There may be many easier and better ways, but here's how I would do it:
-- Square the first given irrational number.
-- Square the second irrational number.
-- Pick a nice ugly complicated decimal between the two squares.
-- Take the square root of the number you picked. It's definitely between
the two given numbers, and it would be a miracle if it's not irrational.

Find the difference between the two numbers, then add an irrational number between zero and one, divided by this difference, to the lower number. Such an irrational number might be pi/10, (square root of 2) / 2, etc.
Any number that can't be expessed as a fraction is an irrational number as for example the square root of 4.5
Irrational numbers are infinitely dense. Between any two numbers, there are infinitely many irrational numbers. So if it was claimed that some irrational, x, was the closest irrational to 6, it is possible to find an infinite number of irrationals between 6 and x. Each one of these infinite number of irrationals would be closer to 6 than x. So the search for the nearest irrational must fail.
An irrational number is expressed as a non-repeating decimal that goes on forever. Write out the enough of the decimal expansion of each number to find the first digit where the two numbers disagree. Truncate the larger number at that digit, and the result is a rational number (terminating decimal) that is between the two.
There are an infinite number of integers that meet this criteria.Ans 2Root 2 and root 3 are both irrational, but there is no integer between them.Did you mean to say 'an infinite number of pairs of integers" ?
