Question 1:

Classify the decimal form of the given rational numbers into terminating and non-terminating recurring type.

i 135  ii 211 iii 2916 iv 17125  v 116

Answer:

i 135

Since, 5=20×51

 The denominator is in the form of 2m×5n, where m and n are non-negative integers.

So, the decimal form of 135 will be terminating type.

ii 211

Since, 11=20×50×111

 The denominator is not in the form of 2m×5n, where m and n are non-negative integers.

So, the decimal form of 211 will be non-terminating recurring type.

iii 2916

Since, 16=24×50

 The denominator is in the form of 2m×5n, where m and n are non-negative integers.

So, the decimal form of 2916 will be terminating type.

iv 17125

Since, 125=20×53

 The denominator is in the form of 2m×5n, where m and n are non-negative integers.

So, the decimal form of 17125 will be terminating type.

v 116

Since, 6=21×50×31

 The denominator is not in the form of 2m×5n, where m and n are non-negative integers.

So, the decimal form of 116 will be non-terminating recurring type.

Question 3:

Write the following rational numbers in pq form

i 0.6°    ii 0.37¯  iii 3.17¯   iv 15.89¯  v 2.514¯

Answer:

i Let x=0.6°       ...1x=0.666...Multiplying both sides by 10, we get10x=6.666...          ...2Subtracting 1 from 2, we get9x=6 x=69So, 0.6°=23

ii Let x=0.37¯       ...1Multiplying both sides by 100, we get100x=37.37¯          ...2Subtracting 1 from 2, we get99x=37 x=3799So, 0.37¯=3799​

iii Let x=3.17¯       ...1Multiplying both sides by 100, we get100x=317.17¯          ...2Subtracting 1 from 2, we get99x=314 x=31499So, 3.17¯=31499​

iv Let x=15.89¯       ...1Multiplying both sides by 100, we get100x=1589.89¯          ...2Subtracting 1 from 2, we get99x=1574 x=157499So, 3.17¯=157499​

v Let x=2.514¯          ...1Multiplying both sides by 1000, we get1000x=2514.514¯          ...2Subtracting 1 from 2, we get999x=2512 x=2512999So, 2.514¯=2512999​

Question 1:

Show that 42 is an irrational number.

Answer:

Let us assume that 42  is a rational number.

42 = pq, where p and q are the integers and q  0.

2 = p4q

Since, pq and 4 are integers. So, p4q is a rational number.

2 is also a rational number.

but this contradicts the fact that 2 is an irrational number.

This contradiction has arisen due to the wrong assumption that 42 is a rational number.

Hence, 42 is an irrational number.

Question 2:

Prove that 3 + 5 is an irrational number.

Answer:

Let us assume that 3 + 5  is a rational number.

3 + 5 = pq, where p and q are the integers and q  0.

5 = pq-3=p-3qq

Since, pq and 3 are integers. So, p-3qq is a rational number.

5 is also a rational number.

but this contradicts the fact that 5 is an irrational number.

This contradiction has arisen due to the wrong assumption that 3 + 5 is a rational number.

Hence, 3 + 5​ is an irrational number.

Question 3:

Represent the numbers 5 and  10 on a number line .

Answer:

(i) Steps of construction for 5:

Step 1: Draw a number line. Mark O as the zero on the number line.

Step 2: At point A, draw AB  OA such that AB = 1 unit.

Step 3: With point O as the centre and radius OB, draw an arc intersecting the number line at point P.

Thus, P is the point for 5 on the number line.



(ii) Steps of construction for 10:

Step 1: Draw a number line. Mark O as the zero on the number line.

Step 2: At point A, draw AB  OA such that AB = 1 unit.

Step 3: With point O as the centre and radius OB, draw an arc intersecting the number line at point C.

Thus, C is the point for 10​ on the number line.

State which of the following are surds. Justify.

(i)  513  (ii) 164 (iii) 815 (iv) 256 (v) 643 (vi) 227

 

Answer:

(i) Since,  513= 3×1713

So,  513  is a surd.

(ii) Since, 164=244=2

So, 164 is not a surd.

(iii) Since, 815=345=3415=345

So, 815 is a surd.

(iv) Since, 256=162=16

So, 256 is not a surd.

So, 72 > 53

(ii) 247,274

247 < 274

(iii) 27,28

Since, 27=4×7=28

So, 27 = 28

  (A) -68   (B) 68  (C) -32   (D) 32

Answer:

(i) Since,

1625  = 45 is a rational number; 39 is a rational number; 196 = 14 is a rational number; and 5 is an irrational number.

Hence, the correct option is (B).
 
(ii) Since,
 
0.17 has a terminating decimal expansion, so, it is rational number;

1.513 has non-terminating recurring decimal expansion, so, it is rational number;

0.2746 has non-terminating recurring decimal expansion, so, it is rational number;

0.101001000..... has non-terminating non-recurring decimal expansion, so, it is irrational number;

Hence, the correct option is (D).

(iii)

(A) Since, 5 = 20×51, which is in the form of 2m×5n, where m and n are non-negative integers.

So, the decimal expansion of 25 is terminating.

(B) Since, 16 = 24×50, which is in the form of 2m×5n, where m and n are non-negative integers.

So, the decimal expansion of 316 is terminating.

(C) Since, 11 = 20×50×111, which is not in the form of 2m×5n, where m and n are non-negative integers.

So, the decimal expansion of 311​ is non-terminating recurring.

(D) Since, 25 = 20×52, which is in the form of 2m×5n, where m and n are non-negative integers.

So, the decimal expansion of 13725 is terminating.

Hence, the correct option is (C).
 
(iv) Since, every point on the number line represents a real number.

Hence, the correct option is (D).

(v)

Let x=0.4¯       ...iMultiplying both sides by 10, we get10x=4.4¯         ...iiSubtracting i from ii, we get9x=4x=49

Hence, the correct option is (A).

(vi) If n is not a perfect square number, then n is an irrational number.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

(vii) Since, 643 = 4

Hence, the correct option is (C).

(viii) Since, 53=513=51213=516=56

So, the order of the surd 53 is 6.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

(ix) Since, the conjugate pair of (25 + 3) is (-25 + 3).

​Hence, the correct option is (A).

(x) Since, 12-13+7×4=12-20×4=12-80=-68=68

So, the value of  12 -  13 + 7 × 4 is  68 .

Question 4:

Show that 5 + 7 is an irrational number.

Answer:

Let us assume that 5 + 7 is a rational number.

 5+7=pq, where p and q are two integers and q0 7=pq-5=p-5qq

Since, p, q and 5 are integers, so p-5qq is a rational number.

 7 is also a rational number.

But this contradicts the fact that 7 is an irrational number.

This contradiction has arisen due to our assumption that 5 + 7 is a rational number.

Hence, 5 + 7 is an irrational number.

Write the simplest form of rationalising factor for the given surds.

(i) 32  (ii) 50  (iii)27 (iv) 3510   (v) 372 (vi) 411

Answer:

i Since, 32=16×2=42So, 2 is the simplest form of rationalising factor.

ii Since, 50=25×2=52So, 2 is the simplest form of rationalising factor.

iii Since, 27=9×3=33So, 3 is the simplest form of rationalising factor.

iv Since, 3510=352×5So, 10 is the simplest form of rationalising factor.

v Since, 372=336×2=3×62=182So, 2 is the simplest form of rationalising factor.

vi Since, 411=411×1So, 11 is the simplest form of rationalising factor.

Question 7:

Simplify.

(i) 47147 + 38192 - 1575 

(ii)  53+227+13

(iii) 216-56+294-36

(iv)412-75-748


(v)  248-75-13

Answer:

(i)  47147 + 38192 - 1575 

= 4749×3 + 3864×3 - 1525×3=47×73 + 38×83 - 15×53=43+33-3=63

(ii)  53+227+13

=53+29×3+13×33=53+63+33=113+33=333+33=3433

(iii) 216-56+294-36

=36×6-56+49×6-36×66=66-56+76-366=86-62=186-62=1762

(iv) 412-75-748

=44×3-25×3-716×3=83-53-283=-253

(v) 248-75-13

=216×3-25×3-13×33=83-53-33=33-33=93-33=833

Question 8:

Rationalize the denominator.

(i) 15   (ii)  237   (iii)  13-2   (iv)  135+22   (v)   1243-2

Answer:

(i) 15

=15×55=55

(ii) 237

=237×77=273×7=2721

(iii) 13-2

=13-2×3+23+2=3+232-22           a+ba-b=a2-b2=3+23-2=3+2

(iv) 135+22

=135+22×35-2235-22=35-22352-222           a+ba-b=a2-b2=35-2245-8=35-2237

(v) 1243-2

=1243-2×43+243+2=1243+2432-22           a+ba-b=a2-b2=1243+248-2=1243+246=643+223
