A irrational number is a number that can't be expressed as a ratio of two whole numbers. That's it.
For examples (in increasing order of difficulty)
1 is a rational number because it is 1/1
0.75 is a rational number because it is equal to 3/4
2.333... (infinite number of digits, all equal to three) is rational because it is equal to 7/3.
sqrt(2) is not a rational number. This is not completely trivial to show but there are some relatively simple proofs of this fact. It's been known since the greek.
pi is irrational. This is much more complicated and is a result from 19th century.
As you see, there is absolutely no mention of the digits in the definition or in the proofs I presented.
Now the result that you probably hear about and wanted to remember (slightly incorrectly) is that a number is rational if and only if its decimal expansion is eventually periodic. What does it mean ?
Take, 5/700 and write it in decimal expansion. It is 0.0057142857142857.. As you can see the pattern "571428" is repeating in the the digits. That's what it means to have an eventually periodic decimal expansion. The length of the pattern can be anything, but as long as there is a repeating pattern, the number is rational and vice versa.
As a consequence, sqrt(2) does not have a periodic decimal expansion. So it has an infinite number of digits but moreover, the digits do not form any easy repeating pattern.
Answer:
negative linear
Step-by-step explanation:
as you see the correlation is going negative in a linear line.
Formula
1/2 (b×h)
plug in
1/2 (6×3)
1/2 (18)

always remember measurement of the shape, square your answer because your finding area and formulas. the numbers on the side are to distract you.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
U do bass times height to get ure answer then if it is a square multiply it one time by itself. And if it is a triangle multiply bass times height divided by two and u will get ure answer
ANSWER
B. The two middle coefficients add to the correct number but do not multiply to the correct number.
EXPLANATION
The given quadratic trinomial that Tina tries to factor is

Comparing to

we have a=10, b=-13 and c=-3
ac=-3×10=-30
We split the middle term so that their sum is -13.
Tina use
-10,-3
to get
-10x-3x
The sum is -13x alright but the product is not -30.
B is correct.
