@rational

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: we say that p is a rational number, when we can find two integers numbers, say m and n, such that: \[\large \ p = \frac{m}{n}\] being: \[ \large n \ne 0\]

a,b,c are rational and d is irrational

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

for example we can write 0.78 repeated, as below: \[\large 0.\overline {78} = \frac{{78}}{{99}}\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: \[\large\sqrt {\frac{7}{9}} = \frac{{\sqrt 7 }}{3}\] and \[\large {\sqrt 7 }\] is irrational

OpenStudy (anonymous):
