Anchors Addressed M11.A.1.3. 1 โ Locate/identify irrational numbers at the approximate location on a number line. M11.A.1.3.2 โ Compare and/or order any real numbers (rational and irrational may be mixed).
Real numbers are further classified as rational or irrational numbers. Irrational numbers cannot be written as a fraction using only integers. Rational numbers in decimal form either terminate or repeat, but irrational numbers continue on forever without repeating. Examples of irrational numbers include: 3 , 2 ๐, and
! ! C. 12.56637โฆ cannot be written as a fraction because the decimal does not repeat or terminate, therefore the number is irrational. This number is 4 ๐.
Calculator Tip: You can use the calculator to turn decimals into fractions. On the TI-ยญโ30x, type the decimal value and then press % j to change the decimal to a fraction. On a TI-ยญโ83 calculator, from the Math menu, select Frac to change a decimal to a fraction.
Estimating Irrational Numbers Since the decimal form of an irrational number is an approximate value, we can approximate where the values appear on the number line. Example 1 : Place the values 12 , ๐, and 3. 7671921 โฆ on the number line. Solution : First, convert each value to a decimal. Therefore, 12 = 3. 464101 โฆ, ๐ = 3. 14 โฆ, and 3. 7671921 is already a decimal. Once in decimal form, estimate the location on the number line. Exercises A. Find the decimal form of each value to the nearest ten thousandth (3 decimal places) and determine if the following values are rational or irrational.

!! !! B. Determine if an exact solution can be found for the following measures.
F. Without using a calculator, plot the following values on the number line.
