Chapter: 1

Exercise 1.1

Q.1. Is zero a rational number? Can you write in the form p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0

Ans: Yes, zero is a rational number and it can be written in the form of p/q as 0 = 0/1 here p = 0 and q = 1 

Notice that q can be any number you wish.

[∵ 0 = 0/2 = 0/4 etc.] 

Q.2. Find six rational numbers between 3 and 4.

Ans: Let a = 3, and b = 4

Rational number lying between 3 and 4 is a + b/2 i.e. 3 + 4/2 = 7/2

Now rational number between 3 and 

Then required six rational numbers between 3 and 4 are 7/2, 13/4, 15/4, 27/8, 29/8, 31/8

ALITER

We want to find all six at one go. Since we want 6 numbers, so write.

3 = 21/6 + 1 = 21/7 and 4 = 28/6 + 1 = 28/7

Now six rational numbers between 3 and 4 are

22/7, 23/7, 24/7, 25/7, 26/7, 27/7

Q.3. Find five rational numbers between 3/5 and 4/5.

Ans: To find five rational numbers between 3/5 and 4/5, we take 3/5 and 4/5 as a rational number with denominator 30. i.e. 3/5 = 3/5 × 6/6 = 18/30 and 4/5 = 4/5 × 6/6 = 24/30

Then, required six rational numbers between 3/5 and 4/5 are 19/30, 20/30, 21/30 and 23/30.

Q.4. State whether the following statements true or false? Give reasons for your answer.

(i) Every natural number is a whole number.

Ans: Yes, because each natural number is a whole number.

(ii) Every integer is a whole number.

Ans: False, because all negative natural numbers (-1, -2, -3, …) are not whole numbers.

(iii) Every rational number is a whole number.

Ans: False, because the rational numbers of the type 2/5, 2/5, 3/5 etc are not whole numbers.

5. Every Natural number is

(i) a Whole number

(ii) an Integer

(iii) a Rational number

(iv) a Real number

Which one of the following is correct?

(a Only (1)

(b) Only (i), (ii)

(c) Only (i), (ii), (iii)

(d) (i), (ii), (iii) & (iv) are all correct

Ans. (d) (i), (ii), (iii) & (iv) are all correct

6. Every Rational number is 

Choose the correct option

(a) a Natural number

(b) a Whole number

(c) an Integer

(d) a Real number

Ans. (D) a Real number

Every rational number is a real number.

Exercise 1.2

Q.1. State whether the following statements are true or false. Jus-tify your answer.

(i) Every irrational number is a real number.

Ans: True, because the set of every rational and every irrational number is called a real number.

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

Ans: False, no negative number can be the square root of any natural number.

(iii) Every real number is an irrational number.

Ans: False, because the real number is the set of every irrational and rational number. For example, 2 is real but not irrational.

Q.2. Are the square roots of all positive integers irrational? If not, give an example of the square root of a number that is a rational number.

Ans: No, the square roots of all positive integers are not always irrational.

For Example √4= 2 is a rational number.

Q.3. Show how √5 can be represented on the number line.

Ans: They represent √5 on the number line, taking 0 at zero on the number line. Again taking OA = 1 unit in the positive direction of the number line.

Then OB = √1² + 1² = √2

Construct OD of unit length perpendicular to OB.

Then OD= √(√2)² +1² = √3

Construct DE of unit length perpendicular to OD.

Then OE = √(√3)² + 1² = √4 = 2

Construct EF of unit length perpendicular to OE. Then 

OF = √2² + 1² = √5

Using a compass, with centre) and radius OF, draw an arc which inter- sects the number line in the point R. Then R corresponds to √5.

Q.4. Classroom activity (Constructing the ‘Square root spiral’).

Take a large sheet of paper and construct the ‘square spiral’ in the following fashion. Start with a point O and draw a line segment P1 P2 per-perpendicular to OP1 of unit length. Now draw a line segment P2 P3 perpendicular-lar to OP2. Then draw a line segment P3 P4 perpendicular to OP3.

Continuing in this manner, you can get the line segment Pn Pn by drawing a line segment of unit length perpendicular to Open. In this man-ner, you will have created the points P2, P3,…, Pn, …, and join-ing them to a create beautiful spiral depicting.

√2,√3, √4,…

Ans: For self-practice.

5. In the adjacent construction of square root spiral which perpendicular line represents √5?

(a) OP4

(b) OP2

(c) OPS

(d) OP3.

Ans. (c) OP5

Explanation:

In ΔΟΡ, Ρ2 OP2

= OP2 2 + OP1 2 + P1 P2 2

= 12 + 12

 = 1+1 

=2

∴ OP₂ = √2 

clearly OP3 = √3, OP4 = √4 

and OP5 = √5

Exercise 1.3

Q.1. Write the following in decimal form and say what kind of deci- mal expansion each has:

(i) 36/100

Ans: 36/100 = 0.36 terminating decimal.

(ii) 1/11

Ans: 1/11

Remainders: 1, 1, 1, 1………, Divisor: 11

∴ 1 11 =0.090909…. = 0.099

The decimal expansion is non-terminating repeating.

(iii) 4 1/8 = 33/8

Ans:  

The decimal representation is terminating.

(iv) 3/13

Ans:

∴ 3/13 = 0.230769.

The decimal expansion is non-terminating repeating.

(v) 2/11

Ans: 

Remainders: 9,2,9,2,…………

Divisor: 0.1818…………

We write; 2/11 = 0.1818……..

= 0

(vi) 329/400

Ans: 329/400

Q.2. You know that 1/7 = 0.142857. Can you predict what the decimal expansions of 2/7, 3/7, 4/7, 5/7, 6/7 are without actually doing the long divi- sion? If so, how?

Ans: 

Q.3. Express the following in the form p/q, where p and q are inte-gers and q≠0.

Ans: Let x = 0.6 or x=0.66666…(1)

Now, adding 6 both side in equation (1)

x + 6 = 0.66666….+ 6

or x + 6 = 6.6666… (2)

Again, multiplying by 10 both sides in equation (1)

10 x = 0.66666…x 10

or 10 x = 6.6666… (3) 

Now, form equations (2) and (3)

X + 6 =10 x or 9 x = 6 ∴ x = 6/9

Therefore, 0.6 = x = 2/3

Ans: Let x = 0.47

or x = 0.47777 …(1) 

Now, multiply 10th side in equation (1)

10 x = 0.47777…x10

or 10 x = 4.77777… (2) 

Again, multiply 100 both side in equation (1)

100 = 0.477777 … X 100

or 100 x = 47.777 …(3) 

Subtract equation (2) from equation (3)

90 x = 43.0000

or 90 x = 43 ∴ x = 43/90 Therefore 0.47 = x 43/90

Which is in the form of p/q

Ans: Let x = 0.001

or, x = 0.001001001… (1) 

Now, add 1 both side in equation (1)

x + 1= 0.001001001…+1

or x + 1=1.001001001… (2) 

Again, multiply 1000 both side in equation (1)

1000 × x =1000 x 0.001001001… (3)

or 1000x = 1.001001001…

From equations (2) and (3) we get

x + 1=1000x or 999x=1 ∴ x = 1/999

Therefore, 0.001 = x = 1/999′ Which is the form of p/q

Ans:

Ans: In a recurring decimal, 

0.999 is considered approximately as 1 

because its a very small difference. 

Let x =0.5 overline 9 ~0.6 3/5 cong0.5 overline 9 = 3/5 = 6/10

Ans:

Ans:

Ans: 

Q.4. Express 0.99999… in the form p/q. Are you surprised by your answer? With your teacher and classmates, discuss why the answer makes sense.

Ans: Let x = 0.9999… (1)

Add 9 both side in equation (1)

x + 9 = 9 + 0.99999…

or x + 9 = 9.99999…  (2)

Again, multiply 10 both side in equation (1)

10 x = 9.9999… (3)

From equations (2) and (3) we get 10 x = x+9

or 9 x = 9 or x = 1 Therefore, 0.9999 … = 1

It is because there is an infinite 9 coming after the point; which is very- very close to 1.
