    > 1.1. Irrational numbers Integers are whole numbers. For example, 13, -26 and 100004 are integers. You can write rational numbers as fractions. For example, 94, 34 and 18; are rational numbers. ‘You can write any fraction as a decimal. 9F=9.75 3, =-3.26666666... 185 = 18.4545454. The fraction either terminates (for example, 9.75) or it has recurring digits (for example, 3.266666666666... and 18.45454545454...) There are many square roots and cube roots that you cannot write as fractions, When you write these fractions as decimals, they do not terminate and there is no recurring pattern, For example, a caleulator gives the answer V7 = 2.645751... The calculator answer is not exact. The decimal does not terminate and there is no recurring pattern. Therefore, 47 is not a rational number. ‘Numbers that are not rational are called irrational numbers. 47, V3, ‘¥i0 and 4/45 are irrational numbers. Irrational mumbers that are square roots or cube roots are called surds. There are also numbers that are irrational but are not square roots or cube roots. One of these irrational numbers is called pi, which is the Greek letter x. Your calculator will tell you that m= 3.14159... You will meet 7 later in the course. irrational number rational number surd The set of rational numbers includes integers. Square roots of negative numbers do not belong to the set of rational or irrational numbers. You will learn more about these numbers if you continue to study mathematics to a higher level. Do not use a ulatOr for this question, a Show that /90 is between 9’and 10. b Nisan integer and 990 is between N and N + 1. Find the value of NV. Answer a /92=81 and10®= 100 81.<90< 100 This means 90 is between 81 and 100. So V81 < ¥90 <¥i00 And so 92990 <10 b 4°=64 and 5*= 125 64< 90 < 125 and so 64 < 190 < 9/125 So4< 90
