Types of Number-Irrational Numbers

Irrational numbers are generally a contradiction of rational numbers contradiction. These irrational numbers may not be explained in simple form but the ration form. For example, a/b, where, a and b are integers and a is not equal to zero. It is also explained in the R/Q form. In this form, the symbol of backward slash indicates ‘set minus”. Besides this expression form, this may also be revealed in R-Q form, where the difference between a rational number set and a real number set may be classified.

Irrational Numbers

The calculation of this irrational number is not as easy as a normal numbers calculator. This calculation is a little complicated. For instance, √11, √5, √21 are examples of irrational numbers. These numbers have to be evaluated under roots while used in the operations of arithmetic. Besides this, the value of these numbers may be recurring sometimes for using them. There are a lot of ways to find irrational numbers. For example, two digits that are 2 and 3 have been given and have been asked to find the irrational number between them. Firstly, the square root of these two digits has to be found by making their square roots. The square root of 2 is 4, as √4 = 2, and the square root of 3 is 9, as √9 = 3. Therefore, from their root square, the irrational numbers between them may be found easily. The irrational numbers between 2 and 3 will be √5, √7, √6 and √8. In this way, irrational numbers can be recognized simply.

To find √2 is an irrational number, a process is to be used here. To discuss it, firstly, √2 is to be assumed as a rational number and need to write as √2 = p/q, where, q is not equal to zero, p and q are integers. By squaring both side we may get, p²/q² = (√2)², 2q² = p². According to the theory, 2 will be the prime factor of p. Then, 2* c = p. By substituting both sides, we may get, 2c² = q², where p is also a prime factor. From this equation, it is clear that the prime factors of p and q are 2. Finally, it is proven that √2 is a rational number.

What is the property of Irrational Number

As the real number’s subsets are irrational numbers, they will follow all properties of real numbers as well. Some of their properties are described. An irrational number will be produced by adding a rational and irrational number. For instance, an irrational number is taken and named x and y is a rational number. Then, their addition z = x+y, will be an irrational number. There is no existence of two irrational number multiplication values. Multiplying with any non-zero numbers to an irrational number, the multiplication value will be an irrational number. For example, assume a and b are rational numbers and their multiplication a*b = c will be a rational number. By contradicting the value will be an irrational number similarly. Another property of this number is that a rational digit may be produced by adding or multiplying two irrational digits, such as 2= √2*√2, where √2 is an irrational digit but it becomes a rational digit by multiplying it twice. Besides these properties of an irrational digit, the last one is just like a rational number set, the irrational number set may not be closed under the process of multiplication. By multiplying two irrational digits, a rational digit is produced as explained above with an example.

Irrational Numbers Definition

Euler’s number and Pi and the golden ratio are consist in the irrational number. A lot of cube and square roots are irrational digits but some of them also are rational. For example, we can take here two digits that are √3 and √4, where the first one is irrational but the second is a rational digit, as √4 = 2. It must be memorized that between any two real digits, there are infinite irrational digits. For example, between 1 and 2, there will be infinite irrational digits. The irrational digits are viewed as real numbers but not in rational digits. This implies that an irrational digit may not be explained by a ratio of two digits. By an interminating form, this irrational digit may be expressed through different aspects. For instance, a root square will not provide a result perfectly and produce an irrational digit.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the irrational digits cannot be referred to as the integer’s ratio such as √2. An irrational number’s decimal expansion cannot be recurring and terminating as well. These numbers may only be represented by roots. By using a simple ratio, these numbers cannot be explained. The real number may be said as an irrational digit if it may not be expressed in the p/q form, where q is not equal to zero. Besides this, those real numbers that may be represented in this p/q form are called rational digits. In this equation, q is not represented as zero as well.
