Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve the questions one by one from the image.
2. a) Write down any rational number between 4 and 6.
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers (like fractions or whole numbers).
- An example of a rational number between 4 and 6 is 5 or 4.5.
2. b) Write down any irrational number between 4 and 6.
An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Its decimal expansion goes on forever without repeating.
- An example of an irrational number between 4 and 6 is √18, since √18 ≈ 4.24 and is irrational.
2. c) Find a rational number between √2 and √3.
We need to find a rational number between the approximations of √2 and √3.
- √2 ≈ 1.414, and √3 ≈ 1.732. A rational number between them could be 1.5 or 1.6.
2. d) Write down any rational number between π and √10.
We need a rational number between π ≈ 3.1416 and √10 ≈ 3.1623.
- A rational number between them could be 3.15.
