Rational and Irrational Numbers
- Rational Number: Can be expressed as a quotient of two integers; examples include terminating or repeating decimals.
- Irrational Number: Cannot be expressed as a quotient of two integers; characterized by nonterminating, nonrepeating decimals.
Examples of Rational Numbers
- 1,384: Classified as a rational number.
- 0: Considered a rational number since it can be expressed as 0/1.
- -19.78: Also a rational number, expressible as -1978/100.
Examples of Irrational Numbers
- π (pi): A well-known irrational number not expressible as a simple fraction.
- -0.28764...: An example of an irrational number with a nonterminating decimal.
- -√3/5 + 10.8: Results in an irrational number.
- -7.832198653... and -0.8662866239...: Both are classified as irrational due to their nonrepeating, nonterminating nature.
Radicals and Their Components
- In the expression ³√13:
- Radicand: The number inside the radical, here it is 13.
- Index: The number that indicates the root being taken, here it is 3.
- Radical: The entire expression (³√13) is known as a radical.
