The rational number in the given set are
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The set of numbers is
Explanation:
Consider the set of numbers
All the numbers that can be written as the quotient of two integers are rational numbers. The rational numbers are
Hence the rational number in the given set are
(e)
Answer to Problem 1T
Solution:
The elements of the set that are called irrational numbers are
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The set of numbers is
Explanation:
Consider the set of numbers
The number which are not rational are called irrational numbers. In other words, numbers which cannot be written as a quotient of two integers are called irrational numbers.
Hence the elements of the set that are called irrational numbers are
(f)
