\n" ); document.write( "I believe problem number 8 was \"root%283%2C25%29\" , which is irrational.
\n" ); document.write( "I believe problem number 14 may be \"root%283%2C125=5%29\" , which is rational, but if it was \"3sqrt%28125%29\" , then it is irrational
\n" ); document.write( "0.2222.... = \"2%2F9\" is a rational number
\n" ); document.write( "0.303030....= \"10%2F33\" is a rational number
\n" ); document.write( "Irrational numbers generate endless decimals that have no repeating pattern.
\n" ); document.write( "Repeating decimals are always rational. To express them as a fraction, you can set up an \"equation\" and solve it, like this:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x\"= 0.2222...
\n" ); document.write( "\"10x\"= 2.2222...
\n" ); document.write( "\"10x-x\"= 2.2222... - 0.2222... =\"2\"
\n" ); document.write( "So \"10x-x=2\" --> \"9x=2\" --> \"9x%2F9=2%2F9\" --> \"highlight%28x=2%2F9%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y\"= 0.303030...
\n" ); document.write( "\"100y\"= 30.303030...
\n" ); document.write( "\"100y-y\"= 30.303030... - 0.303030... =\"30\"
\n" ); document.write( "So \"100y-y=30\" --> \"99y=30\" --> \"99y%2F99=30%2F99\" --> \"y=30%2F99\" , which simplifies to \"highlight%28y=10%2F33%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
