What Is an Irrational Number

An irrational number is a type of real number that cannot be expressed or written in the standard fraction or decimal form. To further understand irrational numbers you may read any of the articles on the links above. (Examples of good reads are Irrational Numbers of Constant Type, Approximation of Irrational Numbers, and Teaching Irrational Numbers Through Trigonometry)

How to Prove That a Number is an Irrational Number

A person can categorize a real number as either a rational or an irrational number. To investigate whether a number is irrational, you must dissect the number and compare it to a set of rules.

1.) If the Number is an Equation, Solve the Equation

If the number you want to prove is an equation then you must solve said equation to obtain the unknown number. This is also true for numbers that appear in roots and fractions like √3 and ⅔.

2.) Write Down the Number in Standard or Decimal Form

After solving the equation, you will need to write the whole number in its standard and decimal form. This will help you prove that the number is either a rational or an irrational number.

3.) Check if the Number is a Repeating Number/Decimal

After writing down the number in its standard or decimal form, you will need to check if the number is a repeating decimal. This means that if the number’s decimal creates a repeating pattern of numbers, the number is irrational.

4.) Check if the Number is a Non-Terminating Decimal

If the number is Non-repeating, there is still a chance that the decimal is non-terminating. A non-terminating decimal is a number with a decimal that approaches infinity. If the number is a non-terminating decimal, then it is considered an irrational number.


FAQs

Is Pi an irrational number, and why is it important?

Yes, pi (𝝅) is an irrational number as it is a number the people write as a number that reaches an infinite decimal. Ancient Greek mathematicians used the value of pi to calculate the diameter of a circle. A Chinese mathematician had indicated that the ratio of the circumference of the circle is 355/113 or 3.141592. The pi is a concept that a lot of people and professionals use to calculate the circumference of a 3d circular object like a silo or a wheel.

Rational vs. irrational numbers; why are both rational and irrational numbers important in our everyday lives?

Rational numbers and irrational numbers are real numbers that have various rules governing the way they appear. Rational numbers are numbers that people can write in fractions and decimals (Examples of real numbers include 3, ½, and √4). While irrational numbers are juxtapositions of rational numbers, which appear as numbers that cannot be expressed in fractions and reach an infinite value (Examples of irrational numbers 10/3, 𝝅, and √2). These real numbers are important because people use rational numbers in everyday measurements and tools, while other tools and objects require the use of irrational numbers to function.

What is a repeating decimal, and how does it relate to irrational numbers?

A repeating decimal is a decimal number that infinitely repeats the same pattern of numbers in its decimal place. An example of a repeating decimal is the quotient of 10/3 (3.333333) which repeats the number 3 an infinite number of times in the decimal place. Irrational numbers are numbers that people cannot express in fractions, decimals, or standard forms without the need to round the number up to a specific decimal place. This means that numbers that are repeating decimals are considered irrational numbers.

Irrational numbers are numbers that people cannot normally write the number in their standard, fraction, and decimal form. People can easily prove if a number is irrational by trying to write the said number in its standard form and contrasting it to a set of criteria that describes irrational numbers.
