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
