Exercise 2.1

Question 1.
Find only two rational numbers between \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) and \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\).
Solution:
A rational number between \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) and \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ( \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) + \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\)) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (1) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)
Another rational number between \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) and \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ( \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) + \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\)) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ( \(\frac { 2+3 }{ 4 }\) = \(\frac { 31}{ 2 }\) × \(\frac { 5 }{ 4 }\)) = \(\frac { 5 }{ 8 }\)
The rational numbers \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) and \(\frac { 5 }{ 8 }\) lies between \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) and \(\frac { 3 }{ 2 }\) .

Question 2.
Is zero a rational numbers? Give reasons for your answer.
Solution:
Yes, since \(\frac { 0 }{ 2 }\) = 0, (i.e) it can be written in the form \(\frac { p }{ q }\) where q ≠ 0

Solution:
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Chapter 2 Real Numbers Additional Questions 1

Question 2.
Convert \(\overline { 0.9 }\) to a rational number.
Solution:
(i) Let x = \(0.\overline { 9 }\). Then x = 0.99999….
Multiplying by 10 on both sides, we get
10x = 9.99999….. = 9 + 0.9999….. = 9 + x
9x = 9
x = 1. That is, \(0.\overline { 9 }\) = 1 (∵ 1 is rational number).

Exercise 2.3

Question 1.
Classify the following number as rational or irrational.
(i) \(\sqrt { 11 }\)
(ii) \(\sqrt { 81 }\)
(iii) 0.0625
(iv) \(0.8\overline { 3 }\)
Solution:
(i) \(\sqrt { 11 }\) is an irrational number. (11 is not a perfect square number)
(ii) \(\sqrt { 81 }\) = 9 = \(\frac { 9 }{ 1 }\) , a rational number.
(iii) 0.0625 is a terminating decimal
∴ 0. 0625 is a rational number.
(iv) \(0.8\overline { 3 }\) = 0.8333
The decimal expansion is non-terminating and recurring.
∴ \(0.8\overline { 3 }\) is a rational number.

Question 2.

Solution:
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Chapter 2 Real Numbers Additional Questions 2

Question 3.
Find any 4 irrational numbers between \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) and \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\).
Solution:
\(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) = 0.25 and \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) = 0.3333 = \(0.\overline { 3 }\)
In between 0.25 and \(0.\overline { 3 }\) there are infinitely many irrational numbers .
Four irrational numbers between 0.25 and \(0.\overline { 3 }\) are
0.2601001000100001 ……
0.2701001000100001 ……
0.2801001000100001 …..

Exercise 2.4

Question 1.
Visualise \(6.7\overline { 3 }\) on the number line, upto 4 decimal places.
Solution:
We locate 6.73 on the number line, by the process of successive magnification.
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Chapter 2 Real Numbers Additional Questions 3
Step 1 : First we note that \(6.7\overline { 3 }\) lies between 6 and 7.
Step 2 : Divide the portion between 6 and 7 into 10 equal parts and use a magnifying glass to visualise that \(6.7\overline { 3 }\) lies between 6.7 and 6.8.
Step 3 : Divide the portion between 6.7 and 6.8 into 10 equal parts and use a magnifying glass to visualise that \(6.7\overline { 3 }\) lies between 6.73 and 6.74.
Step 4 : Divide the portion between 6.73 and 6.74 into 10 equal parts and use a magnifying glass to visualise that \(6.7\overline { 3 }\) lies between 6.733 and 6.734.
Step 5 : Divide the portion between 6.733 and 6.734 into 10 equal parts and use a magnifying glass to visualise that \(6.7\overline { 3 }\) lies between 6.7332 and 6.7334.
We note that \(6.7\overline { 3 }\) is visualised closed to 6.7332 than to 6.7334.

Question 2.
Find whether x and y are rational or irrational in the following:
(i) a = 2 + \(\sqrt{3}\), b = 2 – \(\sqrt{3}\); x = a + b, y = a – b
(ii) a = \(\sqrt{2}\) + 7, b = x = a + b, y = a – b
Solution:
(i) Given that a = 2 + \(\sqrt{3}\), b = 2 – \(\sqrt{3}\)
x = a + b = (2+ \(\sqrt{3}\)) +(2 – \(\sqrt{3}\)) = 4, a rational number.
y = a – b = {2 + \(\sqrt{3}\)) – (2 – \(\sqrt{3}\)) = 2\(\sqrt{3}\) , an irrational number.

(ii) Given that a = \(\sqrt{2}\) + 7,b = \(\sqrt{2}\) – 7
x = a + b = (\(\sqrt{2}\) + 7)+ (\(\sqrt{2}\) – 7) = 2\(\sqrt{2}\), an irrational number.
y = a – b = (\(\sqrt{2}\) + 7 ) – (\(\sqrt{2}\) – 7) = 14, a rational number.

= (6.0 × 106)3 ÷ (3.0 × 10-5)2 = 216 × 1018 ÷ 9 × 10-10
= \(\frac{216 \times 10^{9}}{9 \times 10^{-10}}\)
= 24 × 1018 × 1010 = 24 × 1028
= 24.0 × 1028 = 2.4 × 10 × 1028 = 2.4 × 1029
