Exercise 1 Page 68

We are asked to complete the following sentence.

Real numbers that you cannot represent as a quotient of two integers are ? numbers.

Recall that real numbers that can be expressed as a quotient ab, where a and b are integers and b≠0, are called rational numbers.

Example Rational Numbers - 1/5, 25, 7/4, sqrt(4), 0.14 Conversely, real numbers that we cannot represent as a quotient of two integers are called irrational numbers. Example Irrational Numbers π, sqrt(7), -sqrt(10), 2sqrt(67) With this information, we can complete the given sentence.

Real numbers that you cannot represent as a quotient of two integers are irrational numbers.
