No. An irrational number is one that does not repeat or finish, and a calculator cannot display millions of digits like an irrational number would have.

Does a calculator display the exact values of all rational numbers?

No. For example, 1/3 = 0.333333333...(repeats forever). The calculator can only display finitely many digits.


3 examples of irrational numbers?

3 examples of irrational numbers are:pi, which is approximately 3.14e or exponential, which is approximately 2.72the square root of 2, which is approximately 1.41All values were given to three significant figures.


It is always possible to translate among an equation a table of values and a graph of a relation?

No.Try to created a table or a graph for the equation:y = 0 when x is rational,andy = 1 when x is irrational for 0 < x < 1.Remember, between any two rational numbers (no matter how close), there are infinitely many irrational numbers, and between any two irrational numbers (no matter how close), there are infinitely many rational numbers.


What is the sum of a rational number and irrational number?

The value of the sum depends on the values of the rational number and the irrational number.


Is -16 irrational?

No. If it is possible to write it out, then it is rational. (For example, 0.1435897488972049876329487678694743896787917934706982770398847689189083709387987209870928763891787385173986517632871463287659670234857209872894775 may seem irrational, but it IS possible to write it out completely so it is rational.)the square root of 2, and Pi, are both irrational because their values go into infinity, with no pattern.1/7 may seem irrational because it goes off to infinity, but it IS rational, because its numbers repeat.

Why aren't the values of pi consistent?

It is an irrational number but god knows why but irrational numbers have a whole bunch of no pattern numbers. So it is just an irrational number so that is why.


Who discovered irrational numbers?

Hippasus, However Pythagoras could not accept the existence of irrational numbers, because he believed that all numbers had perfect values. But he could not disprove Hippasus' "irrational numbers" and so Hippasus was thrown overboard and drowned.


Why are there irrational numbers?

Because there are numerical values which cannot be expressed as ratios of two integers. That is, there are numbers that are not rational.


What is the difference between system specification and a software specification?

The specifications for a software application will be what that application needs to be able to do. The designwill be how the software engineers plan to do it.A simple specification may be something like "This application must be able to take two numbers as input and display their sum."The design could be:# Accept two values via command line # Add values # Display sum or...# Display calculator GUI # Accept two values via mouse input # Add values # Display sum

How do you display 15 numbers in an ascending order using an array?

Sort the array then traverse the array, printing the element values as you go.

What are the first 20 square numbers?

They are 1*1, 2*2, 3*3 and so on, until 20*20. Use a calculator to work out the values.


You know pie is circumference divided by diameter it is in the form p by q then why do you call it irrational?

It is true that the distinction between rational and irrational numbers is that rational numbers can be expressed in the form 'p/q' and irrational numbers cannot. However, it is also crucial that both 'p' and 'q' are integers (whole numbers) in this case. Therefore, 1.5 is a rational number because it can be expressed as '3/2', and both 3 and 2 are whole numbers. The value pi is indeed defined as 'the circumference of a circle divided by the diameter of that same circle', but pi is irrational because the properties of a circle mean that at least one of these numbers is not whole. This condition alone does not prove that pi is irrational, but it turns out that it is impossible to find integer values for p and q such that pi can be written as 'p/q'.
