Is 0.692 rational or irrational?
ANY number with a finite number of decimal digits is RATIONAL.(Also, numbers with an infinite number of decimals may be rational - in which case the digits repeat - or irrational.)
Is negative 2pi a rational number?
No. The number pi is irrational, and if you multiply an irrational number by a non-zero rational number (in this case, -2), you will get another irrational number.As a general guideline, most calculations that involve irrational numbers will again give you an irrational number.
How can you prove that 3 plus 2x⁵ is an irrational number where x⁵ is irrational?
1) Adding an irrational number and a rational number will always give you an irrational number. 2) Multiplying an irrational number by a non-zero rational number will always give you an irrational number.
Give a proof that the square root of 8 is an irrational number?
sqrt(8) = sqrt(4*2) = 2*sqrt(2).Even without given that sqrt(2) is a rational, you can give that the square root of 2 starts converging onto the "Pythagoras Constant" eventually, as it takes an infinite amount of digits to square root an integer that is not perfectly squared.Thus, an rational x irrational = irrational, thus the sqrt(8) is irrational (an approximation is 2.8284271247...).
Give Two different irrational numbers whose sum is a rational number?
1 + pi, 1 - pi. Their sum is 2.
