# To differentiate between rational and irrational numbers

 Page 1 / 3

## [lo 1.2.7]

1. Can you remember what each of the following represents?

N = { ........................................................................... }

N 0 = { ........................................................................... }

Z = { ........................................................................... }

R = { ........................................................................... }

2. Provide the definition for:

a rational number:

an irrational number:

3. How would you represent each of the following?

3.1 Rational number......................... 3.2 Irrational number .........................

4. Complete the following table by marking relevant numbers with an X:

5. Select the required numbers from the list:

$\frac{-2}{3}$ ; 1 + $\sqrt{4}$ ; $\sqrt{9+4}$ ; -4 ; $\text{12}\frac{1}{5}$ ; $\frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}$

5.1 Integers:

5.2 Rational numbers:

5.3 Irrational numbers:

6. Explain what you know about an equivalent fraction.

7. Provide two equivalent fractions for the following: $\frac{2}{7}$ = ............... = ...............

8. Provide the terms used to identify each of the following (e.g. proper fraction):

8.1 $\frac{2}{7}$

8.2 $\frac{7}{2}$

8.3 $6\frac{2}{7}$

8.4 0,67

8.5 $0,\stackrel{˙}{6}\stackrel{˙}{7}$

8.6 23 %

Any of the above can be reduced to any of the others.

## [lo 1.2.2, 1.2.6, 1.3, 1.6.1, 1.9.1]

1. Use your pocket calculator to reduce the following fraction to a decimal number:

2. Explain how you would reduce this to a decimal number without the use of your pocket calculator. There are two methods:

Method 1: .................................................. (reduce denominator to 10 / 100 / 1 000)

Method 2: .................................................. (do division)

(Let your educator assist you.)

• Do you see that the answer is the same – if the denominator cannot be reduced to multiples of 10 you have to apply the second method.

3. Now reduce each of the following to decimal numbers (round off, if necessary, to two digits):

3.1 $\frac{5}{8}$ ..................................................

3.2 $\frac{\text{13}}{4}$ ..................................................

3.3 $5\frac{3}{4}$ ..................................................

3.4 $3\frac{7}{8}$ ..................................................

3.5 $\frac{6}{7}$ ..................................................

3.6 $\frac{7}{9}$ ..................................................

4. Write the following decimal numbers as fractions or mixed numbers:(N.B.: All fractions have to be presented in their simplest form.)

4.1 6,008 ..................................................

4.2 4,65 ..................................................

4.3 0,375 ..................................................

4.4 7,075 ..................................................

4.5 13,65 ..................................................

4.6 0,125 ..................................................

5. How do we reduce fractions to recurring decimal numbers?

E.g. $\frac{5}{\text{11}}$

Step 1: place a comma after the 5, i.e. 5, 0000

what is nanomaterials​ and their applications of sensors.
what is nano technology
what is system testing?
preparation of nanomaterial
Yes, Nanotechnology has a very fast field of applications and their is always something new to do with it...
what is system testing
what is the application of nanotechnology?
Stotaw
In this morden time nanotechnology used in many field . 1-Electronics-manufacturad IC ,RAM,MRAM,solar panel etc 2-Helth and Medical-Nanomedicine,Drug Dilivery for cancer treatment etc 3- Atomobile -MEMS, Coating on car etc. and may other field for details you can check at Google
Azam
anybody can imagine what will be happen after 100 years from now in nano tech world
Prasenjit
after 100 year this will be not nanotechnology maybe this technology name will be change . maybe aftet 100 year . we work on electron lable practically about its properties and behaviour by the different instruments
Azam
name doesn't matter , whatever it will be change... I'm taking about effect on circumstances of the microscopic world
Prasenjit
how hard could it be to apply nanotechnology against viral infections such HIV or Ebola?
Damian
silver nanoparticles could handle the job?
Damian
not now but maybe in future only AgNP maybe any other nanomaterials
Azam
Hello
Uday
I'm interested in Nanotube
Uday
this technology will not going on for the long time , so I'm thinking about femtotechnology 10^-15
Prasenjit
can nanotechnology change the direction of the face of the world
At high concentrations (>0.01 M), the relation between absorptivity coefficient and absorbance is no longer linear. This is due to the electrostatic interactions between the quantum dots in close proximity. If the concentration of the solution is high, another effect that is seen is the scattering of light from the large number of quantum dots. This assumption only works at low concentrations of the analyte. Presence of stray light.
the Beer law works very well for dilute solutions but fails for very high concentrations. why?
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
