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.
There are 60 students. The winner got 70% of the 60 students votes. Let's work this one out to get the answer.
First, you need to figure out what 70% of 60 is, by using this equation.
60 x .70 = 42.
Now that you know the answer is 42, you now know that 70 percent of 60 is 42.
So, the class president got 42 winning votes!
Hope I could help!

75,314 because it is only 5 numbers so this is correct.
Domain- {-2, 1, 0, 1, 2}
Range- {-2, 0, 2}
My domain is right but I don’t think my range is. I did learn this 4 years ago though so
Answer choice A. The function moves left 4 units, and 2 units up.
