Study Notes
Circumference and Rationality
- The circumference of a circle is given by the formula C = πd, where d is the diameter.
- If d is a rational number, C becomes an irrational number.
Rational vs. Irrational Outcomes
- Multiplying π by a fraction yields an irrational result.
- Adding the square root of a non-perfect square to a whole number results in an irrational sum.
- Adding the square root of a perfect square to π produces an irrational result.
- Multiplying a fraction by a repeating decimal does not guarantee a rational outcome.
Area of the Trapezoid
- The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2(b₁ + b₂)h.
- Variable values: bases of 3.6 cm and 12 1/3 cm with height √5 cm.
- The area becomes irrational due to the multiplication of the irrational height with the sum of the rational bases.
Properties of Rational Numbers
- The sum of two rational numbers can always be expressed as a fraction.
- The product of two rational numbers can always be expressed as a fraction.
Areas and Specific Numbers
- The sum of two rational numbers is always rational.
- An irrational number is exemplified by √11.
Identifying Rational Outcomes
- A sum like 2/3 + 9.26 is rational as it combines rational and terminating decimal values.
- The area of a triangle, given a height as a terminating decimal and a base as a repeating decimal, remains rational due to the presence of rational substitutions in the formula.
Fraction Representation
- 6.72 can be expressed as a fraction; specifically, it can be simplified to 6 18/15.
Area of a Rhombus
- The area can be calculated with the formula 1/2 d₁d₂.
- If d₁ is a terminating decimal and d₂ is a repeating decimal, the area will be rational as both diagonals and the fraction 1/2 are combined.
Rational and Irrational Products
- The product or sum of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is always irrational.
- A rational number multiplied by an irrational number results in an irrational number, typically represented as a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal.
