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.

Question 2.2. Which ordered pairs make the inequality true?</span><span>2x + y > –4</span>The solutions are (-1, 2) and (1, -5), look at the graph in the attachment.
Question 3.3. What is the slope of the line represented by the equation?There is no equation
Question 4.4. What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 6x - 3y = 4?Convert to slope-intercept form:
6x - 3y = 4
Subtract 6x to both sides:
-3y = -6x + 4
Divide -3 to both sides:
y = -6/-3x + 4/-3
Simplify:
y = 2x - 4/3
Now it's in slope intercept form, y = mx + b, where 'm' is the slope. So the slope here is 2.
Question 5.5. What is the simplified form of the expression?15y - 3(4y + 10)
Distribute -3 into the parenthesis:
15y - 12y - 30
Combine like terms:
3y - 30
Answer:
The area of the sector (shaded section) is 29.51
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a sector = (θ ÷ 360) 

where θ is the central angle of the sector, and r is the radius of the circle.
From the diagram give, diameter of the circle is 26 m. So that;
r = 
=
= 13 m
θ = 360 - (180 + 160)
= 360 - 340
= 
Thus,
area of the given sector =
x
x 
=
x x
x 169
= 29.5079
The area of the sector (shaded section) is 29.51
.
Answer:
The two numbers are 64 and 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
You meant "quotient" of two numbers, right?
Represent the numbers by x and y.
Then the quotient is x/y = 8, and beyond that we know that x + y = 72.
Solve this for x and y.
If x/y = 8, then x = 8y. Substituting this into x + y = 72, we get:
(8y) + y = 72, or 9y = 72. Dividing both sides by 9 yields y = 8.
Since x/y = 8, letting y = 8 results in x = 64.
The two numbers are 64 and 8.
