Solved Example

Q. Is the number 1+(5)1 + (-5) rational or irrational?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) rational\newline(B) irrational
Solution:
  1. Evaluate 1+51 + -5: Evaluate 1+51 + -5.\newlineAdd 11 and 5-5.\newline1+5=41 + -5 = -4
  2. Add 11 and 5-5: We found:\newline1+(5)=41 + (-5) = -4\newlineIdentify whether 1+(5)1 + (-5) is a rational or irrational number.\newline4-4 is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction 41-\frac{4}{1}.\newline1+(5)1 + (-5) is a rational number.
