HOPE IT HELPS U..
Given,
Number 1 = 2
Number 2 = √5
To Find,
One irrational and one rational number between given numbers =?
Solution,
Number 1 = 2
Number 2 = √5
We know that √5 is equal to 2.2360
Therefore, the range is 2 - 2.2360
We know that "any number that can be represented as the quotient p/q of two integers such that q ≠ 0 is called rational number"
A number between 2 and 2.2360 is 2.1 which is a rational number as it can be represented as 21 / 10.
We also know that "any real number that cannot be expressed as the quotient of two integers".
A number between 2 and 2.2360 is 2.1010101.... which is an irrational number as it can't be represented in the form of p/q. It is a non-terminating number so it is an irrational number.
Hence, one irrational and one rational number between 2 and √5 are 2.101010011..... and 21/10.
