Question

Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational :

(i) $\sqrt{23}$

(ii) $\sqrt{225}$

(iii) 0.3796

(iv) $7.478478 \ldots$

(v) $1.101001000100001 \ldots$


Answer

Let's classify these numbers based on their properties and the general definitions of rational and irrational numbers:

  1. $\sqrt{23}$: This number is irrational. Square roots of non-perfect squares are always irrational.
  2. $\sqrt{225}$: This is equal to 15, which is a rational number since it can be expressed as $\frac{15}{1}$.
  3. 0.3796: This is rational because it is a terminating decimal, which can be expressed as a fraction.
  4. $7.478478\ldots$: This number is rational because it has a repeating pattern, which means it can be expressed as a fraction.
  5. $1.101001000100001\ldots$: This number is irrational. It presents a non-repeating, non-terminating pattern that cannot be expressed as a fraction.

Remember, rational numbers are any numbers that can be represented as the quotient of two integers, $\frac{p}{q}$, where $q \neq 0$. Irrational numbers cannot be so expressed.
