Question

Irrational numbers are the number which cannot be written in form of p/q where q≠O
One example of irrational number is √2

The question is why can we write √2 as √2/1 ?​

Answer 1

This is an incomplete definition of irrational numbers. The correct definition is "Irrational numbers are the number which cannot be written in form of p/q where q≠0 and p,q ∈ Z (Integers)".

But, √2 is not an integer. So, √2/1 is irrational and not national.

If it cleared your doubt, please mark me as brainliest.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Any number which can be expressed in the form P/Q, where P & Q are both integers & Q is not zero, is a rational number.

• If any number can't be expressed in the form P/Q, where P & Q are both integers & Q is not zero, then that number is irrational.

• √2 can be expressed as 2^(1/2)/1. But it is not a rational number, as the numerator P : 2^(1/2), itself is not an integer.

• √2 is an irrational number.
