  2. Rationalisation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalisation_(mathematics)

    In elementary algebra, root rationalisation (or rationalization) is a process by which radicals in the denominator of an algebraic fraction are eliminated.. If the denominator is a monomial in some radical, say , with k < n, rationalisation consists of multiplying the numerator and the denominator by , and replacing by x (this is allowed, as, by definition, a n th root of x is a number that ...

    For example, the sequence (1; 1.4; 1.41; 1.414; 1.4142; 1.41421; ...), where each term adds a digit of the decimal expansion of the positive square root of 2, is Cauchy but it does not converge to a rational number (in the real numbers, in contrast, it converges to the positive square root of 2).

  5. Irrational number - Wikipedia

    Substituting 4y 2 for c 2 in the first equation (c 2 = 2b 2) gives us 4y 2 = 2b 2. Dividing by 2 yields 2y 2 = b 2. Since y is an integer, and 2y 2 = b 2, b 2 is divisible by 2, and therefore even. Since b 2 is even, b must be even. We have just shown that both b and c must be even. Hence they have a common factor of 2.

    In some contexts, such as in asymptotic analysis, the degree of a rational function is the difference between the degrees of the numerator and the denominator. [ 2 ] : §13.6.1 [ 3 ] : Chapter IV
