Question

Irrational numbers are _____ integers.


always
sometimes
never

Answer 1

Never. Integers are whole numbers and their negatives, like 3, 4, 5, -3, -4, -5.

If a number is irrational, it continues infinitely without terminating or repeating. So it can't be an integer, since an integer has no value past the decimal point.

Answer 2

Never

Answer 3

Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction. For example, the square root of 2 and pi are irrational numbers. Since integers can always be express and n/1, all integers are rational. So integers are never irrational numbers.
