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. 4 2 3 = 3.8 = 0.6 1.44 = 1.2 5 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. 2 ≈1.4142135623730950488016‌ Caution! A repeating decimal may not appear to repeat on a calculator, because calculators show a finite number of digits.
4-7 The setReal of realNumbers numbers consists of the set of The
rational numbers and the set of irrational numbers.

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.
