Answer:

Rational numbers are the numbers which are integers and fractions

Irrational numbers are the numbers whose expression as a fraction is not possible

Examples of Rational Number

1/9 – Both numerator and denominator are integers.

7 – Can be expressed as 7/1, wherein 7 is the quotient of integers 7 and 1.

√16 – As the square root can be simplified to 4, which is the quotient of fraction 4/1

0.5 – Can be written as 5/10 or 1/2 and all terminating decimals are rational.

0.3333333333 – All recurring decimals are rational.

Examples of Irrational Number

√2 – √2 cannot be simplified and so, it is irrational.

√7/5 – The given number is a fraction, but it is not the only criteria to be called as the rational number. Both numerator and denominator need to integers and √7 is not an integer. Hence, the given number is irrational.

3/0 – Fraction with denominator zero, is irrational.

π – As the decimal value of π is never-ending, never-repeating and never shows any pattern. Therefore, the value of pi is not exactly equal to any fraction. The number 22/7 is just and approximation.

0.3131131113 – The decimals are neither terminating nor recurring. So it cannot be expressed as a quotient of a fraction.

Integrate with respect to x <br><br> 1/√(1-2x)
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

-√(1 - 2x) + C

Step-by-step explanation:

1/√(1-2x)

We want to integrate it. Thus;

∫1/√(1 - 2x) dx

Let u = 1 - 2x

Thus;

du/dx = -2

Thus, dx = -½du

Thus,we now have;

-½∫1/√(u) du

By application of power rule, we will now have;

-½∫1/√(u) du = -√(u) + C

Plugging in the value of u, we will have;

-√(1 - 2x) + C
