The square root of 6 is irrational 2017-10-02
John pose la question :
http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.09.06/sylvia1.html
In the initial assumption of that proof, root 6 is assumed to be a/b where a and b have no common factors, but why does having a common factor make it irrational?

An example of an irrational number 2015-10-22
Allison pose la question :
It ask me to find an example of an irrational number less than -5 and I don't understand what the difference from a rational number and an irrational number besides the fact that a rational number can be repeated and shown in a simple fraction and an irrational number can't be written in a simple fraction.
Can you help me?

Square roots 2015-09-21
mariana pose la question :
I have read various articles on how to find the square root of irrational numbers and every article out there seems to be very confusing.
i read you answer to LUKOW about irrational numbers and i am still quite confused. Say i want to find the square root of 326. i know that it is between 18 and 19 because 18 is the square root of 324 and 19 is the square root of 361 im just very confused about the rest of the process. Please help! ( if possible i would appreciate two examples. thanks)

How can the distance between two points be irrational? 2008-05-07
Dawn pose la question :
Yesterday my advanced 7th grade pre-algebra students were finding the distance between two points on a coordinate grid using the distance formula. A student asked me how come we or math I guess is able to represent a finite distance with an irrational number. I found this to be a very interesting question. I and the 7 other math teachers on my staff had discussed this and we have a variety of thing to say to the kid, but nothing that amounts to an actual answer. The students have studied what it means for a number to be irrational, and they cannot understand how that can "measure" a line that obviously stops. Got any suggestions?

Is this an irrational number? 2008-03-22
Tom pose la question :
Is it possible to build an irrational number with numbers that are just 1's and 2's where only finitely many 2's appear? If so, how do we build it and how do we know it is irrational?

The irrationality of PI 2007-08-07
Matthew pose la question :
I have what I like to think of as a rather interesting question that I can't explain confidently for the life of me. If we take a circle with a radius of 1 and we calculate the circumference, we can use 2 pi R. Doing this calculation results in a circumference of 6.28318530717~ which goes on forever. However, if you were to take a that same circle in the real world, say with radius 1cm and wrap a string around it, and then measure the string, you don't get 6.28~, you get something like 6.2, a much more finite distance. The length of the string is not an irrational number, like the math claims it to be.

Cube roots on a calculator 2001-03-24
Will pose la question :
Hi my name is Will.I have a question about the calculator TI-83 Plus or the use of a scientific calculator. It is about using them to turn a cubed root to a decimal. When using that for a rational and irrational number. Rational numbers is a number that terminates or repeates. A irrational number goes on and on and uses ... (like pie). Like when you type the cube root of 8 it gives you 2, and that is a rational number. The squre root of 2 is 1.41421356... that is irrational. So why is it when you put the cube root of 16 in the calculator it says 2.5198421 that is rational it terminates at the ninth digit and my float is set for the tenth? But why when you do it by hand you get the 2 times the cube root of 2 and that is irrational? Why is that?

The n-th place of pi 2001-02-27
Andrew pose la question :
I have always wondered; is it possible to find the value of an irrational number, such as (phi) at it's nth decimal place???

You would plug the decimal place into the formula and the value would be given at the specified decimal place.

When we look at the expression { (sqr 5 + 1)/2 } we are in a sense visualising the number in it's entirety, so the formula may include elements of the above expression in some form.

Rationals, irrationals and integers 2000-03-14

Pi 2000-02-22
Shelley Collier pose la question :
Numbers that can be written in the form p/q where p and q are integers, (q not 0), are known as rational numbers. What you are missing is that p and q must be integers. The fact that Pi is irrational means that you can't have a circle with both the circumference and diameter being integers. In fact you can't even have the circumference and diameter both rational since the quotient of two rationals is again a rational.

The square root of two is never supposed to end 1999-03-06
a wondering student pose la question :
i am algebra II and am in the 9th grade. today we were talking about rational and irrational numbers. When we were talking about square roots my friend and i were talking and we thought of something. if you have a square with sides of length one then the diagonal of the square is the square root of 2. Now the square root of two is never supposed to end. But the diagonal of the square ends so therefore doesn't the square root of 2 end. our math teacher did not really answer our question because it was not in the lesson plan and not to many people would see where we were coming from. the answer is really bugging me and i would like to have your input.
