  1. 1. 2. 3. 4. Rational number Class-IX Is zero a rational number? Can you write it in the form p q, where p and q are integers and q 0? Answer Yes. Zero is a rational number as it can be represented as 0/1 or 0/2. . Find six rational numbers between 3 and 4. Answer There are infinite rational numbers in between 3 and 4. 3 and 4 can be represented as 24/8 and 32/8 respectively. Therefore, six rational numbers between 3 and 4 are 25/8, 26/8, 27/8, 28/8, 29/8, 30/8. Find five rational numbers between 3/5 and 4/5. Answer There are infinite rational numbers in between 3/5 and 4/5 3/5 = = 18/30 4/5 = = 24/30 Therefore, five rational numbers between 3/5 and 4/5 are 19/30, 20/30, 21/30, 22/30, 23/30. State whether the following statements are true or false. Give reasons for your answers. (i) Every natural number is a whole number. True, since the collection of whole numbers contains all natural numbers. (ii) Every integer is a whole number. False, as integers may be negative but whole numbers are always positive. (iii) Every rational number is a whole number. False, as rational numbers may be fractional but whole numbers may not be.
  2. 5. 6. 7. State whether the following statements are true or false. Justify your answers. (i) Every irrational number is a real number. True, since the collection of real numbers is made up of rational and irrational numbers. (ii) Every point on the number line is of the form Mm, where m is a natural number. False, since positive number cannot be expressed as square roots. (iii) Every real number is an irrational number. False, as real numbers include both rational and irrational numbers. Therefore, every real number cannot be an irrational number. Are the square roots of all positive integers irrational? If not, give an example of the square root of a number that is a rational number. Answer No, the square roots of all positive integers are not irrational. For example 44 Show how 45 can be represented on the number line. Answer Step 1: Let AB be a line of length 2 unit on number line. Step 2: At B, draw a perpendicular line BC of length 1 unit. Join CA. Step 3: Now, ABC is a right angled triangle. Applying Pythagoras theorem, AB2 + BC2 = CA2 22 + 12 = Thus, CA is a line of length 45 unit. Step 4: Taking CA as a radius and A as a centre draw an arc touching the number line. The point at which number line get intersected by arc is at 45 distance from 0 because it is a radius of the circle whose centre was A. Thus, 45 is represented on the number line as shown in the figure. 2. 5 c 1 2 5 3
  3. 8. 9. Write the following in decimal form and say what kind of decimal expansion each has: (i) 36/100 = 0.36 (Terminating) (ii) 1/11 0.09090909 1 4 (iii) 8 ... = 0.9 (Non terminating repeating) = 33/8 = 4.125 (Terminating) (iv) 3/13 = 0.230769230769 (v) 2/11 = 0.181818181818 (vi) 329/400 ... = 0.230769 (Non terminating repeating) ... = 0.18 (Non terminating repeating) = 0.8225 (Terminating) You know that 1/7 = 0.142857.Can you predict what the decimal expansion of 2/7, 3/7, 4/7, 5/7, 6/7 are without actually doing the long division? If so, how? [Hint: Study the remainders while finding the value of 1/7 carefully.] Answer Yes. We can be done this by: 2 3 4 1 7 7 1 7 6 1 7 7 2 x} = 2 x 0.142857 3 x} = 3 x 0.142857 4 x O. 142857 = O. 571428 - 5 x o. 142857 = o. 714285 - 6 x o. 142857 = o. 857142 = o. 285714 = o. 428571 Express the following in the formp/q where p and q are integers and q 0. 10. (i) 0.6 (ii) 0.47 (iii) 0.001 Answer
  4. (i) 0.6 = 0.666... Let x = 0.666... 10x = 6.666... 10x=6+x x = 2/3 (ii) 0.47 = 0.4777... = 4/10 + 0.777/10 Let x 0.777. lox 7.777. 10x=7+x x = 7/9 4/10 + 0.777.../10 = 4/10 + 7/90 = 36+7/90 = 43/90 (iii) 0.001 = 0.001001... Let x = 0.001001... 1000x 1.001001. 999x = 1 x = 1/999 Express 0.99999.. .in the form p/q. Are you surprised by your answer? With your teacher and 11. classmates discuss why the answer makes sense. Answer Let x 0.9999. lox 9.9999. lox = 9 + x The difference between 1 and 0.999999 is 0.000001 which is negligible. Thus, 0.999 is too much near 1, Therefore, the 1 as answer can be justified. 12. What can the maximum number of digits be in the repeating block of digits in the decimal expansion of 1/17? Perform the division to check your answer. Answer 1/17 = 0.0588235294117647
  5. There are 16 digits in the repeating block of the decimal expansion of 1/17. Division Check: 0.0588235294117647 17 100 85 150 136 140 136 40 34 60 51 90 85 50 34 160 153 70 68 20 17 30 17 130 119 110 102 80 68 120 119 100 = 0.0588235294117647 Look at several examples of rational numbers in the formp/q (q 0) where p and q are 13. integers with no common factors other than 1 and having terminating decimal representations (expansions). Can you guess what property q must satisfy? Answer We observe that when q is 2, 4, 5, 8, 10... then the decimal expansion is terminating. For example: 1/2 = 0.5, denominator q = 21 7/8 = 0.875, denominator q = 23 4/5 = 0.8, denominator q = 51 We can observed that terminating decimal may be obtained in the situation where prime factorisation of the denominator of the given fractions has the power of 2 only or 5 only or both.
  6. 14. Write three numbers whose decimal expansions are non-terminating non-recurring. Answer Three numbers whose decimal expansions are non-terminating non-recurring are: 0.303003000300003... 0.505005000500005... o. 7207200720007200007200000. Find three different irrational numbers between the rational numbers 5/7 and 9/11. 15. Answer 5/7 = 0.714285 9/11 = 0.81 Three different irrational numbers are: 0.73073007300073000073. o. 75075007300075000075. o. 76076007600076000076. 16. Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational: (i) 423 (ii) 4225 (iii) 0.3796 (iv) 7.478478 (v) 1.101001000100001... Answer (i) 423 = 4.79583152331. Since the number is non-terminating non-recurring therefore, it is an irrational number. (ii) 4225 = 15 = 15/1 Since the number is rational number as it can represented in p/q form. (iii) 0.3796 Since the number is terminating therefore, it is an rational number. (iv) 7.478478 = 7.478 Since the this number is non-terminating recurring, therefore, it is a rational number. (v) 1.101001000100001. Since the number is non-terminating non-repeating, therefore, it is an irrational number. Visualise 3.765 on the number line using successive magnification. 17.

  9. 21. Recall, It is defined as the ratio of the circumference (say c) of a circle to its diameter (say d). That is, = dd. This seems to contradict the fact that is irrational. How will you resolve this contradiction? Answer There is no contradiction. When we measure a value with a scale, we only obtain an approximate value. We never obtain an exact value. Therefore, we may not realise that either c or d is irrational. The value of 7t is almost equal to 22/7 or 3.142857... Represent 49.3 on the number line. 22. Answer Step 1: Draw a line segment of unit 9.3. Extend it to C so that BC is of 1 unit. Step 2: Now, AC = 10.3 units. Find the centre of AC and name it as O. Step 3: Draw a semi circle with radius OC and centre O. Step 4: Draw a perpendicular line BD to AC at point B which intersect the semicircle at D. Also, Join OD. Step 5: Now, OBD is a right angled triangle. Here, OD = 10.3/2 (radius of semi circle), OC = 10.3/2, BC = 1 0B = OC -BC = (10.3/2) - 1 = 8.3/2 Using Pythagoras theorem, OD2 = BD2 + 0B2 (10.3/2)2 = BD2 + (8.3/2)2 BD2 = (10.3/2)2 - (8.3/2)2 BD2 = (10.3/2 - 8.3/2) (10.3/2 + 8.3/2) BD2 = 9.3 BD2= 49.3 Thus, the length of BD is 49.3. Step 6: Taking BD as radius and B as centre draw an arc which touches the line segment. The point where it touches the line segment is at a distance of 49.3 from O as shown in the figure. 0.3 o 23.
