Number system

Exercise 1.1
Question 1:

Is zero a rational number? Can you write it in the form , where p and q are integers
and q ≠ 0?

Answer:

Yes. Zero is a rational number as it can be represented as etc.

Question 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 respectively.

Therefore, rational numbers between 3 and 4 are

Question 3:

Find five rational numbers between .

Answer:

There are infinite rational numbers between .

Therefore, rational numbers between are

Question 4:

State whether the following statements are true or false. Give reasons for your

Answers.

(i) Every natural number is a whole number.

(ii) Every integer is a whole number.

(iii) Every rational number is a whole number.

Answer:

(i) True; since the collection of whole numbers contains all natural numbers.

(ii) False; as integers may be negative but whole numbers are positive. For example: −3
is an integer but not a whole number.

Exercise 1.2
Question 1:

State whether the following statements are true or false. Justify your Answers.

(i) Every irrational number is a real number.

(ii) Every point on the number line is of the form , where m is a natural number.

(iii) Every real number is an irrational number.

Answer:
(i) True; since the collection of real numbers is made up of rational and irrational
numbers.

(ii) False; as negative numbers cannot be expressed as the square root of any other
number.

(iii) False; as real numbers include both rational and irrational numbers. Therefore, every
real number cannot be an irrational number.

Question 2:

Are the square roots of all positive integer’s irrational? If not, give an example of the
square root of a number that is a rational number.

Answer:

If numbers such as are considered,

Then here, 2 and 3 are rational numbers. Thus, the square roots of all positive integers
are not irrational.

Question 3:

Show how can be represented on the number line.

Answer:

We know that,

And,

Mark a point ‘A’ representing 2 on number line. Now, construct AB of unit length
perpendicular to OA. Then, taking O as centre and OB as radius, draw

an arc intersecting number line at C.

C is representing .

Question :4 Classroom activity (Constructing the ‘square root spiral’) :

Take a large sheet of paper and construct the ‘square root spiral’ in the

following fashion. Start with a point O and draw a line segment P1P2

perpendicular to OP1 of unit length (see Fig. 1.9). Now draw a line

segment P2P3 perpendicular to OP2. Then draw a line segment P3P4

perpendicular to OP3. Continuing in this manner, you can get the line

segment Pn-1Pn by drawing a line segment of unit length perpendicular

to OPn-1. In this manner, you will have created the points

P2,P3,……,Pn….., and joined them to create a beautiful spiral depicting

Answer : Activity

For the square root spiral follow the given steps:-

1. Draw a line AB of length 1 unit.

2. Draw another line BC of length 1 unit perpendicular to AB.

3. Now, Join point A and point C forming a line AC.

Here, AC represents a line of length √2 units.(This can be easily found using Pythagoras
Theorem in right ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶)

4. Now, Draw a perpendicular CD of length 1 unit at point C and join points A and D.AD
here represents length √3.
5. Similarly proceeding further we get Square Root Spiral.

Exercise 1.3
Question 1:

Write the following in decimal form and say what kind of decimal expansion each has:

(i) (ii) (iii)

(iv) (v) (vi)

Answer:

(i)

Terminating

(ii)

Non-terminating repeating

(iii)
Terminating

(iv)

Non-terminating repeating

(v)

Non-terminating repeating

(vi)

Terminating

Question 2:

You know that . Can you predict what the decimal expansion

of are, without actually doing the long division? If so, how?

[Hint: Study the remainders while finding the value of carefully.]

Answer:

Yes. It can be done as follows.

Question 3:

Express the following in the form , where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

(i) (ii) (iii)

Answer:

(i)

Let x = 0.666…

10x = 6.666…

10x = 6 + x

9x = 6

(ii)

Let x = 0.777…

10x = 7.777…

10x = 7 + x

(iii)

Let x = 0.001001…

1000x = 1.001001…
1000x = 1 + x

999x = 1

Question 4:

Express 0.99999…in the form . Are you surprised by your Answer? With your teacher
and classmates discuss why the Answer makes sense.

Answer:

Let x = 0.9999…

10x = 9.9999…

10x = 9 + x

9x = 9

x=1

Question 5:

What can the maximum number of digits be in the repeating block of digits in the

decimal expansion of ? Perform the division to check your Answer.

Answer:

It can be observed that,

There are 16 digits in the repeating block of the decimal expansion of .

Question 6:
Look at several examples of rational numbers in the form (q ≠ 0), where p and q are
integers with no common factors other than 1 and having terminating decimal
representations (expansions). Can you guess what property q must satisfy?

Answer:

Terminating decimal expansion will occur when denominator q of rational number is

either of 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, and so on…

It can be 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.

Question 7:

Write three numbers whose decimal expansions are non-terminating non-recurring.

Answer:

3 numbers whose decimal expansions are non-terminating non-recurring are as follows.

0.505005000500005000005…

0.7207200720007200007200000…

0.080080008000080000080000008…

Question 8:

Find three different irrational numbers between the rational numbers and .

Answer:
3 irrational numbers are as follows.

0.73073007300073000073…

0.75075007500075000075…

0.79079007900079000079…

Question 9:

Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational:

(i) (ii) (iii) 0.3796

(iv) 7.478478 (v) 1.101001000100001…

Answer:

(i)

As the decimal expansion of this number is non-terminating non-recurring, therefore, it is

an irrational number.

(ii)

It is a rational number as it can be represented in form.

(iii) 0.3796

As the decimal expansion of this number is terminating, therefore, it is a rational

number.

(iv) 7.478478 …

As the decimal expansion of this number is non-terminating recurring, therefore, it is a

rational number.

(v) 1.10100100010000 …
As the decimal expansion of this number is non-terminating non-repeating, therefore, it
is an irrational number.

Exercise 1.4
Question 1:

Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational:

(i) (ii) (iii)

(iv) (v) 2π

Answer:

(i) = 2 − 2.2360679…

= − 0.2360679…

As the decimal expansion of this expression is non-terminating non-recurring, therefore,

it is an irrational number.

(ii)

As it can be represented in form, therefore, it is a rational number.

(iii)

As it can be represented in form, therefore, it is a rational number.

(iv)

As the decimal expansion of this expression is non-terminating non-recurring, therefore,

it is an irrational number.

(v) 2π = 2(3.1415 …)
= 6.2830 …

As the decimal expansion of this expression is non-terminating non-recurring, therefore,

it is an irrational number.

Question 2:

Simplify each of the following expressions:

(i) (ii)

(iii) (iv)

Answer:

(i)

(ii)

=9−3=6

(iii)

(iv)

=5−2=3

Question 3:

Recall, π is defined as the ratio of the circumference (say c) of a circle to its diameter

(say d). That is, . This seems to contradict the fact that π is irrational. How will
you resolve this contradiction?
Answer:

There is no contradiction. When we measure a length with scale or any other instrument,
we only obtain an approximate rational value. We never obtain an exact value. For this

reason, we may not realise that either c or d is irrational. Therefore, the fraction is
irrational. Hence, π is irrational.

Question 4:

Represent on the number line.

Answer:

Mark a line segment OB = 9.3 on number line. Further, take BC of 1 unit. Find the mid-
point D of OC and draw a semi-circle on OC while taking D as its centre. Draw a
perpendicular to line OC passing through point B. Let it intersect the semi-circle at E.
Taking B as centre and BE as radius, draw an arc intersecting number line at F. BF is
.
