You can put this solution on YOUR website!
an irration number can bacome raional by droppong a few decimal places? true or false?
\n" ); document.write( "HOPE YOU MEAN DROPPING A FEW DECIMAL PLACES MEANS TERMINATING THE DECIMAL
\n" ); document.write( "ANY TERMINATING DECIMAL HOWEVER LONG IT MAY BE THAT IS ANY NUMBER OF DIGITA IT MAY CONTAIN IS RATIONAL.
\n" ); document.write( "FOR EX,SQRT(3) IS IRRATIONAL AND IS 1.732......NON TERMINATING DECIMAL.
\n" ); document.write( "IF WE TERMINATE THE DECIMAL AND WRITE IT AS 1.732,IT BACOMES RATIONAL BECAUSE ,THE MOMENT WE TERMINATE AND WRITE IT AS 1.732 SAY THEN IT IS EQUAL TO 1732/1000 WHICH IS RATIONAL.
\n" ); document.write( "EVEN IF THERE ARE A MILLION DIGITS AFTER DECIMAL ,BUT IS TERMINATING THERE , THEN IT IS RATIONAL BECAUSE IT CAN BE WRITTEN AS P/Q WHERE P IS N INTEGER AND Q = 1 MILLION...AN INTEGER.
\n" ); document.write( "BUT IF YOU ARE REFERRING TO APPROXIMATION THEN SQRT(3)IS APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO 1.732.HERE SQRT(3)REMAINS IRRATIONAL ,WHILE ITS APPROXIMATE EQUIVALENT IS RATIONAL \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
