(i)
Let us assume, to the contrary, that is rational.
So, we can find coprime integers a and b (≠ 0) such that
Since, a and b are integers, si rational, and so is irrational
So, we conclude that is irrational.
Without actually performing the long division, state whether the following rational numbers will have a terminating decimal expansion or a non-terminating repeating decimal expansion:
