Who is the inventor of prime numbers?
Mathematics, including prime numbers, is discovered, not invented.Systems and methods we use are invented, but concepts of relationships between objects governed by logic, such as the prime numbers are discovered and named. As such, a more appropriate question might be "Who discovered prime numbers?"Many have discovered prime numbers; the first is unknown to mankind.
What are the first ten irrational numbers?
Irrational numbers are infinitely dense so it is not possible to list them. Whatever positive irrational number you select, there are infinitely many smaller ones.
Which was the first irrational number to be discovered?
Type your answer here...square root of two or pie ?
What is the 1st irrational number?
There is no first irrational number. Irrational numbers are infinitely dense which means that there are infinitely many of them in any interval. So if any number laid claim to being the first, there would be infinitely many that would be between 0 and that number. Each one of them would then have a better claim to be "first".
How do you find an irrational number between two irrational numbers?
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.
