OpenStudy (amistre64):

any thoughts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no idea but i need help i have two more question and im done with my online school

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it helps if you have an idea to work with ... what are your definitions of a rational number and an irrational number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know what they mean

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then you know have a point of study to focus on ... good luck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you still need help?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\rm \LARGE Some~definitions:\) ------------------------------------------ \(\large\rm \color{blue}{Natural}~numbers\). \(1\) , \(2\), \(3\), \(4\), \(5\), \(6\), \(7\)... and so on \( \rm Addition:\) Like any number of workers that can build a house. 0 workers can't do that, nor can 45.7 (because there is no such a thing as 45.7 people) workers do this. A number of workers to make a house has to be a "natural number" see? ------------------------------------------ \(\large\rm \color{blue}{Whole}~numbers\). \(0\) , \(1\) , \(2\), \(3\), \(4\), \(5\), \(6\), \(7\)... and so on So the "whole numbers" include everything that "natural numbers" include, BUT, "whole numbers" also include 0. ------------------------------------------ \(\large\rm \color{blue}{Integers}\). ... \(-5\) , \(-4\) , \(-3\) , \(-2\) , \(-1\) , \(0\) , \(1\) , \(2\), \(3\), \(4\), \(5\) ... ((includes everything that whole numbers includes, but also adds on negative numbers - as I showed)) ------------------------------------------ So once you know these, I can start to explain more complicated terms as rational numbers and irrational numbers.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

------------------------------------------ \(\large \color{blue}{\rm Rational}~\rm numbers.\) this set includes everything that "Integers" includes, but it can also be: 1. Fraction 2. Repeating decimal or Terminating decimal 3. Regular decimal that doesn't go on forever

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN sorry caps

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am just explaining the terms, well - at least trying to do this....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so can i copy and paste

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

copy and paste what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what you say

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I use latex sometimes, so you might not always be able to copy paste it the same way as I have it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is the answer cause ill never understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its too much of a short period of time to learn soo much

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

--------------------------------- \(\large \color{blue}{\rm Irrational}~\rm numbers.\) this set DOES NOT include any of the previous sets. it is a set of numbers that are abstruse (hard to understand) so to speak. 1. Euler numbers \(\bf (\) \(\pi\) and \(e\)\(\bf )\) 2. square roots (or other roots with different powers) IF THESE ROOTS DON'T SIMPLIFY TO A RATIONAL VALUE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats anwer

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

so an irrational number would for example be √32

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

No, nothing of what i said is the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh taht irrational

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats rational

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

All I am doing right now is thta I am explaining the definition of the terms you have to know to do this problem.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

so irrational number - roughly, we can define it this way for now - is a square root of a number (if this number is not 1, 4, 9, 16 25, or any other number that is a perfect square)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

ok, can you classify the following number for me: \(\rm 1)\) 7.7 \(\rm 2) \) 7.9 for me please? (Which group/set do they belong to?) options: \(\rm a.\) natural numbers \(\rm b.\) whole numbers \(\rm c.\) integers \(\rm d.\) rational numbers \(\rm e.\) irrational numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i belive its c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right
