How can you tell what numbers are irrational?
A number is said to be irrational if the number is non -repeating and non-terminating.
Does a banker use irrational numbers?
No. At least, not for his work in the bank. Ans 2. Alan Greenspan said that the numbers that bankers used to cobble together investment products were based on "irrational exuberance". The numbers on which toxic mortgages were based were irrational by any standards.
Is 18 rational or irrational?
irrational
Can the product of a whole number and an irrational number be a rational number?
Most children learn about Pi and square roots somewhere during the middle school. They may hear said 'irrational number' and some even remember the phrase, but very few really understand what it means. Well, irrational numbers are harder to understand than rational numbers, but I consider it worth the time and effort because they have some fascinating properties. I just have to wonder in awe when I see the facts laid in front of me because it all sounds unbelievable, yet proven true.To study irrational numbers one has to first understand what are rational numbers. In short they are whole numbers, fractions, and decimals - the numbers we use in our daily lives.
Is the square root of -17 a rational or irrational number?
The square root of 17 is an irrational number. The square root of any number (with the exception of perfect squares, of course) is an irrational number. A rational number is any number that can be represented as a fraction (or ratio, hence the name). So take two numbers, say p and q, whose greatest common factor is 1, and put p over q: p / q. For instance, 0.1 is a rational number, because it can be represented as 1/10. The same can be said for 0.25, 0.190329, and even integers such as 5 (written as 5/1). Irrational numbers can't be expressed as fractions, or ratios, hence their name - it has nothing to do with the sanity of a number! As has been proven elsewhere, pi (3.14159265...) is irrational, as is Euler's number (e). And of course, as I said above, the square root of any number that is not a perfect square is an irrational number.
