The sum of two Irrational Numbers is Irrational

The sum of two Irrational Numbers is Irrational

Irrational number is an number that cannot be expressed as a fractions. It is not necessary that the sum of two irrational numbers is irrational , it can be rational. Assuming r is rational number and p is a irrational number, then r-p is irrational. in this p+(r-p)=r is irrational. From this equation we can say that an irrational can be written in different way as a sum of two irrational number. Now we say that sum the sum of two irrational be irrational then, it may also be possible. Let considering an example Rational number can be expressed as a rational number can be representing as a irrational. it we add any two fractional number it given a fractional number. We take more example :-( 3/2+5/3)= x (x may be rational or irrational number) squaring Both side ( 3/2+5/3)2= x2 9/2+5/9+25/2= x2 91/18+10=x2 X=( 91/18+10)

There for we can say that sum of two irrational number is irrational. In above articles we discuss about that the sum of two irrational number is irrational. keywords-the sum of two irrational numbers is irrational What are irrational Numbers Irrational numbers are the numbers which are not rational numbers. In other words we can say that any number that cannot be expressed in the form of p/q are termed as irrational numbers. If any floating point number (that is a number that has an integer part as well as an decimal part is termed as floating point number.) cannot expressed as the ratio of two integers that floating point number is termed as irrational numbers. Let us take some of the examples of Irrational numbers Now if we take the value of pi ( ) that is = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795 This value of is impossible to express as the simple ratio of two numbers or two integers instead. Thus the value of is an irrational number. Let us take some more examples to clearly get an image about the irrational numbers Let us take a value 3.2. Now 3.2 is not an irrational number, it is a rational number as 3.2 can be expressed as a ratio of two integers that is A square root of every non perfect square is an irrational number and similarly, a cube root of non-perfect cube is also an example of the irrational number. When we multiply any two irrational numbers and the result is rational number, then each of these irrational numbers is called rationalizing factor of the other one.

Here is a general irrational number which is frequently used in mathematics. Pi is a best example of an irrational number. The value of 'pi' is solved to over one million decimal places and still there is no pattern found. What are Rational and Irrational Numbers ? When we deal Rational and Irrational numbers, the first question arise in our mind is that what are rational and irrational numbers? Rational numbers are those numbers which can be represented as fraction means having numerator and denominator and both in integer form. Lets take some examples of rational numbers: 1. 5 is a rational number because it has 1 in its denominator and can be written as 5/1. 2. 2/3 is also a rational number. Now, the next part of the same question i.e. what are irrational numbers? Irrational numbers are those which can be represented as a fraction i.e. numbers except rational numbers. They can only be represented as decimal number. An irrational numbers has non- repeating and endless numbers after the decimal. Lets have a look on the irrational number examples: pi = 3.141592.. sqrt( 2 ) = 1.414213. Generally, we do not use irrational numbers in our daily life but they exist on the number line somewhere between 0 and 1. There exists infinite number of irrational numbers. Usually irrational numbers are arises from the square root operations.
