Explanations
1. Any number that can be expressed as an integer divided by a nonzero integer is a rational number. In
decimal notation, rational numbers either terminate or repeat.

Any number that has a nonterminating or nonrepeating decimal representation is an irrational number.

The given set of numbers contains all irrational numbers.

2. An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction, , where p and q are
integers and q is not equal to zero.

3. Rational numbers can be written as , where p and q are both integers and q is not equal to zero.

Find the number that can be written as .

Since can be written as a fraction of two integers, is a rational number.

4. A number that terminates in zeros or repeats a sequence of digits to the right of the decimal point is
called a rational number.

A number that does not terminate nor repeat a sequence of digits to the right of the decimal point is
called an irrational number.

The number can be rewritten as 4.690415..., which does not terminate nor repeat a sequence of
digits. So, the number is irrational because it can be written as a non-repeating, non-terminating
decimal.
