- Use a pencil and ruler to draw any number line, if required.
- Submit the assignment by [insert due date].
Section A: Very Short Answer (1 mark each)
1. Write the decimal expansion of (2/5).
2. Is \( \sqrt{7} \) a rational number? Justify.
3. Find a rational number between 3 and 4.
4. Write two irrational numbers between 1 and 2.
5. Express 0.333... in the form \( \frac{p}{q} \), where \( p \) and \( q \) are integers and \( q \ne 0 \).
Section B: Short Answer (2 marks each)
6. Represent \( \sqrt{9.5} \) on a number line using the geometric method.
7. Express \( \frac{7}{8} \) as a decimal. Is it terminating or non-terminating?
8. Simplify: \( \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{8}} + \frac{4}{\sqrt{2}} \)
9. Write five rational numbers between \( \frac{1}{4} \) and \( \frac{1}{2} \).
10. Express the following in the form \( a + b\sqrt{2} \): \( (\sqrt{2} + 1)^2 \)
Section C: Long Answer (3-4 marks each)
11. Rationalize the denominator and simplify: \( \frac{3}{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{2}} \)
12. Without using a calculator, determine whether the following number is rational or irrational: \( \frac{\sqrt{2}
+ \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}} \)
13. If \( x = \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} \), find the value of \( x^2 \). Is it rational or irrational?
14. Show that \( \sqrt{2} \) is an irrational number (prove using contradiction method).
15. Represent the following on a number line using successive approximations:
