A rational number can be written as [ ]. An irrational number has a decimal expansion that continues forever without recurring.
A rational number can be written as ab\frac{a}{b}ba, where a,b∈Za,b\in\mathbb{Z}a,b∈Z and b≠0b\neq 0b=0. An irrational number has a decimal expansion that continues forever without recurring.
626\sqrt{2}62
For a,b≥0a,b\geq 0a,b≥0, ab=ab\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}ab=ab. For a≥0a\geq0a≥0 and b>0b>0b>0, ab=ab\boxed{\sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}}}ba=ba.
Converting to decimals introduces rounding errors.
