Number Systems Class 9 Solutions - Important Formulae

Any unique real number can be represented on a number line.

1696559183963

If r = rational number and s = irrational number

Then (r + s), (r – s), (r × s), and (r ⁄ s) all are irrational.

Rules for positive real numbers:

  • √ab = √a × √b

  • √(a/b) = √a/√b

  • (√a + √b) × (√a – √b) = a−b

  • (a + √b) × (a − √b) = a2 − b

  • (√a+√b)2 = a2 + 2√ab + b

To rationalise the denominator of 1/√(a + b), one must multiply it by √(a – b) / √(a – b), where a and b are both integers.

Suppose a = real number (greater than 0) and p and q are rational numbers:

  • ap × bp = (ab)(p)

  • (ap)q = apq

  • ap / aq = (a)(p-q)

  • ap / bp = (a/b)p

Number systems class 9 questions and answers - Exercise 1.1

Q1 Is zero a rational number? Can you write it in the form \frac{p}{q} , where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0?

Answer:

Any number that can represent in the form of \frac{p}{q} (where \ q \neq 0) is a rational number

Now, we can write 0 in the form of \frac{p}{q} for eg. \frac{0}{1},\frac{0}{2},\frac{0}{-1} etc.

Therefore, 0 is a rational number.

Q2 Find six rational numbers between 3 and 4.

Answer:

There are an infinite number of rational numbers between 3 and 4. one way to take them is
\Rightarrow 3 = \frac{21}{7} \ and \ 4 = \frac{28}{7}
Therefore, six rational numbers between 3 and 4 are \frac{22}{7}, \frac{23}{7},\frac{24}{7},\frac{25}{7},\frac{26}{7},\frac{27}{7}

Q3 Find five rational numbers between \frac{3}{5} and \frac{4}{5} .

Answer:

We can write
\Rightarrow \frac{3}{5}= \frac{3\times 6}{5\times 6} = \frac{18}{30}
And
\Rightarrow \frac{4}{5}= \frac{4\times 6}{5\times 6} = \frac{24}{30}
Therefore, five rational numbers between \frac{3}{5} and \frac{4}{5} . are \frac{19}{30},\frac{20}{30},\frac{21}{30},\frac{22}{30},\frac{23}{30},

Q4 (i) State whether the following statements are true or false. Give reasons for your answers. (i)Every natural number is a whole number.

Answer:

(i) TRUE
The number that is starting from 1, i.e 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, .................. are natural numbers
The number that is starting from 0. i.e, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.............are whole numbers
Therefore, we can clearly see that the collection of whole numbers contains all natural numbers.

Q4 (ii) State whether the following statements are true or false. Give reasons for your answers. (ii) Every integer is a whole number.

Answer:

(ii) FALSE
Because integers may be negative or positive but whole numbers are always positive. for eg. -1 is an integer but not a whole number.

Q4 (iii) State whether the following statements are true or false. Give reasons for your answers.(iii) Every rational number is a whole number.

Answer:

(iii) FALSE
Numbers that can be represented in the form of \frac{p}{q} \ ( where \ q \neq 0) are a rational number.
And numbers that are starting from 0 i.e. 0,1,2,3,4,......... are whole numbers
Therefore, we can clearly see that every rational number is not a whole number for eg. \frac{3}{4} is a rational number but not a whole number

Answer:

Let x = 0.\overline6= 0.6666.... -(i)

Now, multiply by 10 on both sides

10x= 6.6666...

\Rightarrow 10x = 6 + x \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \(using \ (i))

\Rightarrow 9x = 6

\Rightarrow x = \frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3}

Therefore, \frac{p}{q} form of 0.\bar{6} is \frac{2}{3}

Q3 (ii) Express the following in the form \frac{p}{q} , where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0. (ii) 0.4\bar{7}

Answer:

We can write 0.4\overline7 as

\Rightarrow 0.4\overline7 = \frac{4}{10}+ \frac{0.777..}{10} -(i)

Now,

Let x = 0.\overline7= 0.7777.... -(ii)

Now, multiply by 10 on both sides

10x= 7.7777...

\Rightarrow 10x = 7 + x \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \(using \ (ii))

\Rightarrow 9x = 7

\Rightarrow x = \frac{7}{9}
Now, put the value of x in equation (i). we will get

\Rightarrow 0.4\overline7 = \frac{4}{10}+ \frac{7}{10\times 9}= \frac{4}{10}+ \frac{7}{90} = \frac{36+7}{90} = \frac{43}{90}

Therefore, \frac{p}{q} form of 0.4\overline7 is \frac{43}{90}

1000x= 1.001001...

\Rightarrow 1000x = 1 + x \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \(using \ (i))

\Rightarrow 999x = 1

\Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{999}

Therefore, \frac{p}{q} form of 0.\overline{001} is \frac{1}{999}

Q4 Express 0.99999 .... in the form \frac{p}{q} . Are you surprised by your answer?

Answer:

Let x = 0.\overline{9}= 0.9999.... -(i)

Now, multiply by 10 on both sides

10x= 9.999....

\Rightarrow 10x = 9 + x \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \(using \ (i))

\Rightarrow 9x = 9

\Rightarrow x = \frac{9}{9} = 1

Therefore, \frac{p}{q} form of 0.999.... is 1

The difference between 1 and 0.999999 is o.000001 which is almost negligible.

Therefore, 0.999 is too much closer to 1. Hence, we can write 0.999999.... as 1

Therefore, there are total 16 number of digits be in the repeating block of digits in the decimal expansion of \frac{1}{17}

Q6 Look at several examples of rational numbers in the form \frac{p}{q} (q ≠ 0), where p and q are integers with no common factors other than 1 and having terminating decimal representations (expansions). Can you guess what property q must satisfy?

Answer:

We can observe that when q is 2, 4, 5, 8, 10… then the decimal expansion is terminating. For example:

\frac{3}{2}= 1.5 , denominator q = 2^1

\frac{8}{5}= 1.6 , denominator q = 5^1

\frac{15}{10} = 1.5 , denominator q =10=2\times 5= 2^1 , 5^1

Therefore,

It can be observed that the terminating decimal can be obtained in a condition where prime factorization of the denominator of the given fractions has the power of 2 only or 5 only or both.

Q3 Recall, \pi is defined as the ratio of the circumference (say c) of a circle to its diameter (say d). That is, \pi=\frac{c}{d} ⋅ This seems to contradict the fact that \pi is irrational. How will you resolve this contradiction?

Answer:

There is no contradiction.
When we measure a length with scale or any other instrument, we only obtain an approximate rational value. We never obtain an exact value.
For this reason, we cannot say that either c or d is irrational.
Therefore, the fraction \frac{c}{d} is irrational. Hence, the value of \pi is approximately equal to \frac{22}{7} = 3.142857....

Therefore, \pi is irrational.

Therefore, the answer is 3^{-21}

Q3 (iii) Simplify : \frac{11^{\frac{1}{2}}}{11^{\frac{1}{4}}}

Answer:

Given number is \frac{11^{\frac{1}{2}}}{11^{\frac{1}{4}}}

Now, on simplifying it we will get

\Rightarrow \frac{11^{\frac{1}{2}}}{11^{\frac{1}{4}}} = 11^{\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}}= 11^{\frac{2-1}{4}} = 11^\frac{1}{4} \left ( \because \frac{a^n}{a^m}= a^{n-m}\right )
Therefore, the answer is 11^{\frac{1}{4}}

Q3 (iv) Simplify : 7^{\frac{1}{2}}.8^{\frac{1}{2}}

Answer:

Given number is 7^{\frac{1}{2}}.8^{\frac{1}{2}}

Now, on simplifying it we will get

\Rightarrow 7^{\frac{1}{2}}.8^{\frac{1}{2}}= (7\times8)^{\frac{1}{2}} = 56^{\frac{1}{2}} \left ( \because a^n.b^n=(a.b)^n\right )
Therefore, the answer is 56^{\frac{1}{2}}
