. The following real numbers have decimal expansions as given below

Best Answer

Sol. i. 43.123456789

Since this number has a terminating decimal expansion, it is a rational number of the form p/q and q is of the form 2^m×5ⁿ

That is, the prime factor of q will be 2 or 5 or both.

ii. 0.120120012000120000...

The decimal expansion is neither terminating nor recurring.

Therefore, the given number is an irrational number.

iii. 43.123456789

Since the decimal expansion is non-terminating recurring, the given number is a rational number of the form p/q and q is not of the form 2^m×5ⁿ that is, the prime factors of q will also have a factor other than 2 or 5.
