i don't think you're correct
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
0 isn't irrational...
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
0 is an integer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
irrational means you can't write "a/b" to represent the number

0 can be represented by, for example, 0/1
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
0 is the ultimate rational number
OpenStudy (anonymous):
also, let's look at I. what ratio could represent that number?
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
only one choice left...
OpenStudy (agent47):
just to let confused guys know,\(\sqrt{49}\) is not irrational just bcuz its a sqrt.... it can be represented by 7/1

so is it sqrt 6?
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
yes sqrt 6...what else?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6 1/3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that's 19/3
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
you have 1/3 there...rational numbers are fractions

therefore that automatically disqualifies fractions from being irrational
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
rational numbers = fractions and whole numbers

1.4949494949 then?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

9.02 is 902/100
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
and no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
remember if you can convert it into "a/b" then it's rational
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
9.02 is rational
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
terminating decimals (decimals that have end) are rational

So its only sqrt 6 and 1.49494949?
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
non-terminating repeated decimals are also rational (like 0.33333333333)
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
yes sqrt 6 and 1.449494949944
OpenStudy (anonymous):
correct?

seems too small...

pythagorean theorem \[\sqrt{14300^2 - 4100^2}\]
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
@ktklown you mean to tell me math is really important in life?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes, 3.5 is not right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@lgbasallote i'm afraid so
