Question

The type of number that cannot be expressed as a fraction because the fractional part would go on for infinity without ever repeating a sequence is:a. Floating pointb. Rationalc. Reald. Irrational

Answer 1

Irrational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any number that cannot be expressed or written as a simple fraction is said to be irrational. That is because, an attempt to do so will cause the fractional part to go on till infinity without repeating a sequence.

Examples of irrational number are;

i.
`\pi` = 3.14159265358979323846264338... (the number continues forever).

Though
`\pi` (pi) has a popular approximation which is 22/7.

22/7 = 3.142857142...

This is only an estimate and not the exact value of pi (
`\pi`).

ii.
`√(2)` = 1.41421356237309...

iii.
`√(3)` = 1.7320508075688...

Rational numbers, real numbers and floating point numbers can all be represented as a fraction.
