GRADE – 9 MATH WORKSHEET

NUMBER SYSTEM

IMPORTANT POINTS
𝑝
1. A number r is called a rational number, if it can be written in the form , where p and q are
𝑞
integers and q ≠ 0.
𝑝
2. A number s is called an irrational number, if it cannot be written in the form , where p and q are
𝑞
integers and q ≠ 0.
3. The decimal expansion of a rational number is either terminating or non-terminating recurring.
Moreover, a number whose decimal expansion is terminating or non-terminating recurring is
rational.
4. The decimal expansion of an irrational number is non-terminating non-recurring. Moreover, a
number whose decimal expansion is non-terminating non-recurring is irrational.
5. All the rational and irrational numbers make up the collection of real numbers.
𝑟
6. If r is rational and s is irrational, then r + s and r – s are irrational numbers, and rs and irrational
𝑠
numbers, r ≠ 0.
