Question

PLEASE HELP What is an example of a irrational number and how is it irrational?

Answer 1

Hi,
An irrational number would be π or the square root of 2, because when written as decimal numbers they do not terminate nor repeat.

Hope this helps! If my answer was not clear enough or you’d like further explanation please let me know.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation: Let's take a look at the decimal 94.340192... which is an example of an irrational number.

Notice that this decimal is both non-terminating and non-repeating.

Since the set of rational numbers only includes decimals that are either terminating or repeating, this decimal is not a rational number. Instead, we call this decimal an irrational number.
