Question

Classify the numbers as rational or irrational

Answer 1

Answer and explanation:

irrational - doesn't have an integer answer or repeating decimal

rational - has a repeating pattern

irrational - numbers forever never repeating

rational = -7

rational  = 2/5

irrational means the number can't be made into a fraction

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

$-\sqrt{13}$ = Irrational

43.95 (repeat sign) = Rational

-3π = Irrational

-√49 = Rational

6/15 = Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

Note:

A rational number can be defined as any number that can be expressed or written in the p/q form, where 'p' and 'q' are integers and q is a non-zero number. An irrational number on the other hand cannot be expressed in p/q form and the decimal expansion of an irrational number is non-repeating and non-terminating.

The square root of a negative number is imaginary.

Natural Number Test

A number is natural if it is one of the counting numbers (greater than 0), i.e., 1,2,3,4,5,...

Since NAN is not both positive and a counting number, NAN is not a natural number

Whole Number Test:

Whole Numbers are positive numbers, including 0, with no decimal or fractional parts

Since NAN is not both ≥ 0 and an integer, NAN is a not a whole number

Integer Test

The number is an integer if it is a whole number (no fractions or decimals) positive or negative including the number 0, ...,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,...

Since NAN is not a positive or negative number (no decimals or fractions), NAN is not an integer

Rational Number Test

The number NAN is rational if it is an integer or decimal

A rational number is a number that can be represented a/b where a and b are integers and b is not equal to 0.

Irrational Number Test:

An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a ratio between two integers and is not an imaginary number.

Since NAN is the square root of a negative number, it is imaginary

Imaginary Numbers are not rational

Imaginary

43.95 ⇒ With repeat sign over 43.95

The decimal places repeat an infinite amount of times and when a decimal repeats it's rational.

Pi is a Greek letter (π), and one of the most well-known mathematical constants.

It is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter which is always constant.

pi (π) approximately equals 3.14159265359... and is a non-terminating non-repeating decimal number.

Hence 'pi' is an irrational number.

Any number with pi is considered irrational.

An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a ratio between two integers and is not an imaginary number.

Since NAN is the square root of a negative number, it is imaginary

Imaginary Numbers are not rational

Imaginary

But is rational as it equals -7.

Rational because the decimal terminates:

6/15 = 0.4/0.40...
