The difference of two irrational numbers is an irrattinal number?
The sum, or difference, of two irrational numbers can be rational, or irrational. For example, if A = square root of 2 and B = square root of 3, both the sum and difference are irrational. If A = (1 + square root of 2), and B = square root of 2, then, while both are irrational, the difference (equal to 1) is rational.
Is 0.555555 both rational and irrational rational neither rational nor irrational irrational?
No number can be both rational and irrational. And, at the level that you must be for you to need to ask that question, a number must be either rational or irrational (ie not neither). 0.555555 is rational.
Which is a real number that is not a rational number?
Actually there are more irrational numbers than rational numbers. Most square roots, cubic roots, etc. are irrational (not rational). For example, the square of any positive integer is either an integer or an irrational number. The numbers e and pi are both irrational. Most expressions that involve those numbers are also irrational.
What is a rational number number which is not a rational number?
There is no such thing as a number that is both rational and irrational. By definition, every number is either rational or irrational.
Is a number either rational or irrational but not both?
Yes. A number can be either rational or irrational, but never both; otherwise there would be an inherent contradiction.
