Problem of the Day

The circumference of a circle is approximately 3.14 times its diameter. A circular path 1 meter wide has an inner diameter of 100 meters. How much farther is it around the outer edge of the path than the inner edge?

AnimalReptile

Biologists classify animals based on shared characteristics. The horned lizard is an animal, a reptile, a lizard, and a gecko.

You already know that some numbers can be classified as whole numbers, integers, or rational numbers. The number 2 is a whole number, an integer, and a rational number. It is also a real number.

Course 3

4-7 The Real Numbers

Recall that rational numbers can be written as fractions. Rational numbers can also be written as decimals that either terminate or repeat.

3 = 3.84 5

= 0.623

1.44 = 1.2

Course 3

4-7 The Real Numbers

Irrational numbers can only be written as decimals that do not terminate or repeat. If a whole number is not a perfect square, then its square root is an irrational number.

A repeating decimal may not appear to repeat on a calculator, because calculators show a finite number of digits.

Caution!

4-7 The Real Numbers

The Density Property of real numbers states that between any two real numbers is another real number. This property is also true for rational numbers, but not for whole numbers or integers. For instance, there is no integer between –2 and –3.

3 + 3 ÷ 23 5

There are many solutions. One solution is halfway between the two numbers. To find it, add the numbers and divide by 2.
