    Uploaded by

    Moloy Gorai
    This document discusses rational and irrational numbers. It provides examples of numbers that are rational, such as fractions, integers, terminating decimals and recurring decimals. It also gives examples of irrational numbers, such as the square root of 2, pi, and some trigonometric functions. It explains that rational numbers can be written as a/b, while irrational numbers cannot. Finally, it has examples of classifying numbers as rational or irrational and organizing them on a Venn diagram.
