What is the difference between postulate and theorem

1 answer:

6 0

A postulate (or sometimes called as an axiom) is something assumed rather than proven. A theorem is something that is proven. To make a theorem, we first start with undefined terms. Such as line, point, and plane. Then next comes the postulates. Then the definitions. And in some theorems, a previously proven theorem is sometimes used in order to prove the new theorem.

How do you tell if a number is irrational or rational?

Korvikt [17]

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction
(ex: -5/2, 4 1/7, and 8/13)

An irrational number is any number that cannot be expressed as a fraction; a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal (ex: pi, 0.121231234...)

Hope this helps! :)
