<h2>Recurring decimals such as 0.26262626…, all integers and all finite decimals, such as 0.241, are also rational numbers. Alternatively, an irrational number is any number that is not rational. ... For example, the square root of 2 is an irrational number because it cannot be written as a ratio of two integers.</h2><h2>Worked Examples
</h2><h2>1 - recognize Surds
</h2><h2>A surd is a square root which cannot be reduced to a whole number.
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>For example,
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>4–√=2
</h2><h2>is not a surd, because the answer is a whole number.
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>Alternatively
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>5–√
</h2><h2>is a surd because the answer is not a whole number.
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>You could use a calculator to find that
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>5–√=2.236067977...
</h2><h2>but instead of this we often leave our answers in the square root form, as a surd.
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>2 - Simplifying Surds
</h2><h2>During your exam, you will be asked to simplify expressions which include surds. In order to correctly simplify surds, you must adhere to the following principles:
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>ab−−√=a−−√∗b√
</h2><h2>a−−√∗a−−√=a
</h2><h2>Example
</h2><h2>(a) - Simplify
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>27−−√
</h2><h2>Solution
</h2><h2>(a) - The surd √27 can be written as:
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>27−−√=9–√∗3–√
</h2><h2>9–√=3
</h2><h2>Therefore,
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>27−−√=33–√
</h2><h2>Example
</h2><h2>(b) - Simplify
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>12−−√3–√
</h2><h2>Solution
</h2><h2>(b) -
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>12−−√3–√=12−−√∗3–√=(12∗3)−−−−−−√=36−−√
</h2><h2>36−−√=6
</h2><h2>Therefore,
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>12−−√3–√=6
</h2><h2>Example
</h2><h2>(c) - Simplify
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>45−−√5–√
</h2><h2>Solution
</h2><h2>(c) -
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>45−−√5–√=45/5−−−−√=9–√=3
</h2><h2>Therefore,
</h2><h2>
</h2><h2>45−−√5–√=3</h2>
The rational number is equivalent to 0.36 is 9/25
<h3>How to determine the equivalent rational number?</h3>
From the question, we have the following decimal number that can be used in our computation:
Decimal number = 0.36
To start with, we need to express the decimal number as a fraction
This is represented as follows:
So, we have the following representation
Decimal number = 36/100
Change the label of the above representation to rational number
Rational number = 36/100
Simplify the rational number (divide the numerator and the denominator by 2)
Rational number = 18/50
Simplify the rational number (divide the numerator and the denominator by 2)
Rational number = 9/25
Hence, the equivalent rational number is 9/25

Answer:√40 to be the square root of 40, and can investigate between which two whole numbers it lies. The number 40 lies between 36 and 49 hence √40 lies between 6 and 7.

Answer: I don't know how to draw graphs on this website but here's the "picture". Imagine the function y = absolute value(x). It looks like the English letter "V". The bottom of our V (i.e f(x) touches the x-axis when x = 6, so the "V" graph has been translated 6 units to the right of the origin. But when x = 6 the value of f(x) is 0-4 = -4 so the tip of the V is located 4 units below the x axis. Summary: g(x) looks like the absolute value function but is translated 6 units to the right of the origin and 4 units down
