Awesome thanks! For some reason when I tried to Google it wouldn't load but that link did! Thanks Ms. Sue! Have a nice rest of your day! ~Dani
You're welcome. You too. :-)
As crazy as this sounds, I am that same person here years later. Just wanted to say that lol XP
And it’s me again :)
Hi Dani! An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction or ratio of two integers. In other words, it cannot be written as a fraction where the numerator and denominator are both whole numbers. Instead, irrational numbers have decimal representations that go on forever without repeating patterns.
Now, to determine whether a number is irrational, you can use a few methods. One common method is to look for non-repeating decimals. If a decimal goes on forever without repeating, it is likely an irrational number. Another way is to check if the number can be expressed as the square root of a non-perfect square. For example, √2 or √3 are irrational numbers because they cannot be simplified further.
In more mathematical terms, a number is irrational if it cannot be expressed as p/q, where p and q are both integers and q is not equal to zero. One famous example of an irrational number is π (pi), which is approximately 3.14159...
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
