Answer:
9. Rational
10. Rational, real
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational number is a type of real number, which is in the form of p/q where q is not equal to zero. Any fraction with non-zero denominators is a rational number. Some of the examples of rational number are 1/2, 1/5, 3/4, and so on.
Irrational numbers are real numbers that cannot be represented as a simple fraction. It cannot be expressed in the form of a ratio, such as p/q, where p and q are integers, q≠0. It is a contradiction of rational numbers. Irrational numbers are expressed usually in the form of R\Q, where the backward slash symbol denotes ‘set minus’. it can also be expressed as R – Q, which states the difference between a set of real numbers and a set of rational numbers.
