a number which can neither be expressed as a terminating decimal nor as repeating decimal, is called irrational number.
the number from of p/q where p, q integer q does not equal to 0
0.01001000100001
.
A number which cannot be expressed in the form of , where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
For example : - etc.
It's just opposite of rational numbers.
Rational numbers are the numbers which can be expressed in the form of where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
Rational numbers in terms of its decimal expansion are of two types :
(i) terminating
(ii) non - terminating and recurring (repeating)
But as we talk 'bout irrational numbers, they are non - terminating and non - recurring.
For example : - = 1.414213562373.....
As we can see here, the decimal expansion of is non - terminating and non - recurring.
But rational number's decimal expansion is either terminating or non - terminating and recurring.
The below example will give you more clarity.
Eg : - 0.212121......
Here, a number or a block of number is repeating.
But we can express 0.212121.... in the form of . How? See below.
Let x be the number 0.212121....
Then multiplying 10 on both sides.
10x = 21.2121....
10x = 21 + 0.212121......
10x = 21 + x (as x = 0.212121.....)
10x = 21 + x
10x - x = 21
9x = 21
x =
x =
x =
Here, 0.212121... is expressed in the form of where, p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
Here, both the numbers 7 and 3 are integers and 3 ≠ 0.
A rational number can be expressed in but an irrational number cannot.
