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:
Part 2:
The shape of a banana cut in 45° angle is that of a curve that is closed with the appearance of a flattened circle or an oval similar to an ellipse therefore having two focal points
The drawing of the angle cross section of a cylinder representing the banana is attached
Part 3:
When the banana is cut in half, perpendicular to the base of the banana, the shape formed is circular withe the center of the banana being about the same location as the center of the circle
The drawing of the perpendicular cross section of a cylinder representing the banana is
Step-by-step explanation:
There is not an answer to an expression.
-3+p is an expression, unless there was an equal sign and a sum at the end, that is when we can solve for the variable x.
-3+p simply equals -3+p
