Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational:

(i)


(ii)


(iii)


(iv)


(v)

(i) 2 - = 2 – 2.2360679…

= -0.2360679…


Since, the number is in non-terminating non-recurring therefore, it is an irrational number


(ii) (3 + ) - = 3 + -


= 3


= 3/1


The number is rational number as it can be represented in the form of p/q.


(iii) = 2/7


The number is rational number as it can be represented in the form of p/q.


(iv) =


= 0.7071067811


Since, the number is non-terminating and non-recurring number.


Hence, it is an irrational number


(v) 2π = 2 * 3.1415…


= 6.2830


Since, the number is a non-terminating and non-recurring number.


Hence, it is an irrational number
