What do you do to check whether a number is rational or irrational? In your explanation, use an example of an irrational and rat
ional number. Can someone check my answer, please? I would deeply appreciate it.
"Rational numbers are numbers that can be written in fraction form. The numbers are all integers. Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be written as a fraction. They are non-repeating and nonterminating decimals. For example 6.12385546972578945213666479952145412639854845256987452874526874125874........ Is an irrational number. And 1/6, 2,9, and 3/4 are all rational numbers."
You have a good response. The only critique I can think of is to reduce the size of that massive decimal number. It doesn't have to be huge as long as it's a random string of digits. For example, e = 2.71828182846... is irrational since it has no pattern in the decimal portion. The decimal portion also goes on forever.
