Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 1 Number Systems Ex 1.5 img 1
Solution:
(i) Irrational ∵ 2 is a rational number and √5 is an irrational number.
∴ 2.√5 is an irrational number.
(∵The difference of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational)
(ii) 3 + \( \sqrt{23} \) – \( \sqrt{23} \) = 3 (rational)
(iii) \(\frac { 2\sqrt { 7 } }{ 7\sqrt { 7 } }\) (rational)
(iv) \(\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } }\)(irrational) ∵ 1 ≠ 0 is a rational number and \( \sqrt{2} \)≠ 0 is an irrational number.
∴ \(\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } }\) is an irrational number. 42
(∵ The quotient of a non-zero rational number with an irrational number is irrational).
(v) 2π (irrational) ∵ 2 is a rational number and π is an irrational number.
∴ 2x is an irrational number. ( ∵The product of a non-zero rational number with an irrational number is an irrational)

Question 3.
Recall, π is defined as the ratio of the circumference (say c) of a circle to its diameter (say d). That is π = \(\frac { c }{ d }\). This seems to contradict the fact that n is irrational. How will you resolve this contradiction?
Solution:
Actually \(\frac { c }{ d }\) = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\),which is an approximate value of π.

Question 4.
Represent \( \sqrt{9.3} \) on the number line.
Solution:
Firstly we draw AB = 9.3 units. Now, from S, mark a distance of 1 unit. Let this point be C. Let O be the mid-point of AC. Now, draw aemi – circle with centre O and radius OA. Let us draw a line perpendicular to AC passing through point B and intersecting the semi-circle at point D.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 1 Number Systems Ex 1.5 img 4
∴ The distance BD = \( \sqrt{9.3} \)
Draw an arc with centre B and radius BD, which intersects the number line at point E, then the point E represents \( \sqrt{9.3} \) .

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 1 Number Systems Ex 1.4

Question 1.
Visualise 3.765 on the number line, using successive magnification.
Solution:
We know that, 3.765 lies between 3 and 4. So, let us divide the part of the number line between 3 and 4 into 10 equal parts and look at the portion between 3.7 and 3.8 through a magnifying glass. Now 3.765 lies between 3.7 and 3.8 [Fig. (i)]. Now, we imagine to divide this again into ten equal parts. The first mark will represent 3.71, the next 3.72 and soon. To see this clearly,we magnify this as shown in [Fig. (ii)].

Again 3.765 lies between 3.76 and 3.77 [Fig. (ii)]. So, let us focus on this portion of the number line [Fig. (iii)] and imagine to divide it again into ten equal parts [Fig. (iii)]. Here, we can visualise that 3.761 is the first mark and 3.765 is the 5th mark .in these subdivisions. We call this process of visualisation of representation of numbers on the number line through a magnifying glass as the process of successive magnification.

So, we get seen that it is possible by sufficient successive magnifications of visualise the position (or representation) of a real number with a terminating decimal expansion on the number line.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 1 Number Systems Ex 1.4 img 1

Question 2.
Visualise 4.\(\bar { 26 }\) on the number line, upto 4 decimal places.
Solution:
We adopt process by successive magnification and successively decreasethe lengths of the portion of the number line in which 4.\(\bar { 26 }\) is located. Since 4.\(\bar { 26 }\) is located between 4 and 5 and is divided into 10 equal parts [Fig. (i)]. In further, we locate 4.26between 4.2 and 4.3 [Fig. (ii)].

To get more accurate visualisation of the representation, we divide this portion into 10 equal parts and use a magnifying glass to visualise that 4.\(\bar { 26 }\) lies between 4.26 and 4.27. To visualise 4.\(\bar { 26 }\) more clearly we divide again between 4.26 and 4.27 into 10 equal parts and visualise the repsentation of 4.\(\bar { 26 }\) between 4.262 and 4.263 [Fig. (iii)].

Now, for a much better visualisation between 4.262 and 4.263 is agin divided into 10 equal parts [Fig. (iv)]. Notice that 4.\(\bar { 26 }\) is located closer to 4.263 then to 4.262 at 4.2627.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 1 Number Systems Ex 1.4 img 2

Remark: We can adopt the process endlessly in this manner and simultaneously imagining the decrease in the length of the number line in which 4.\(\bar { 26 }\) is located.

(iii) 0.\(\overline { 001 }\)
Solution:
(i)Let x= 0.\(\bar { 6 }\) = 0.666… ….(i)
Multiplying Eq. (i) by 10, we get
10x = 6.666.. ….(ii)
On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get
(10x- x)=(6.666…) – (0.666…)
9x = 6
x= 6/9
⇒ x=2/3

(ii)
Let x = 0.4\(\bar { 7 }\) = 0.4777… …(iii)
Multiplying Eq. (iii) by 10. we get
10x = 4.777… . …(iv)
Multiptying Eq. (iv) by 10, we get
100x = 47.777 ….. (v)
On subtracting Eq. (v) from Eq. (iv), we get
(100 x – 10x)=(47.777….)-(4.777…)
90x =43
⇒ x = \(\frac { 43 }{ 90 }\)

(iii)
Let x = 0.\(\overline { 001 }\)= 0.001001001… …(vI)
Multiplying Eq. (vi) by (1000), we get
1000x = 1.001001001… .. .(vii)
On subtracting Eq. (vii) by Eq. (vi), we get
(1000x—x)=(1.001001001….) – (0.001001001……)
999x = 1
⇒ x = \(\frac { 1 }{ 999 }\)

Question 4.

Solution:
Let x = 0.99999… ………..(i)
Multiplying Eq. (i) by 10, we get
10x = 9.99999… …(ii)
On subtracting Eq. (ii) by Eq. (i), we get
(10 x – x) = (9.99999..) – (0.99999…)
9x = 9
⇒ x = \(\frac { 9 }{ 9 }\)
x = 1

Question 5.
What can the maximum number of digits be in the repeating block of digits in the decimal expansion of \(\frac { 1 }{ 17 }\)? Perform the division to check your answer.

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 1 Number Systems Ex 1.3 img 6
Thus,\(\frac { 1 }{ 17 }\) = 0.\(\overline { 0588235294117647….., }\)a block of 16-digits is repeated.

Question 6.
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 that 1 and having terminating decimal representations (expansions). Can you guess what property q must satisfy?
Solution:
Consider many rational numbers in the form \(\frac { p }{ q }\) (q≠ 0). where p and q are integers with no common factors other that 1 and having terminating decimal representations.
Let the various such rational numbers be \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\), \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\), \(\frac { 5 }{ 8 }\), \(\frac { 36 }{ 25 }\), \(\frac { 7 }{ 125 }\), \(\frac { 19 }{ 20 }\), \(\frac { 29 }{ 16 }\) etc.
In all cases, we think of the natural number which when multiplied by their respective denominators gives 10 or a power of 10.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 1 Number Systems Ex 1.3 img 7
From the above, we find that the decimal expansion of above numbers are terminating. Along with we see that the denominator of above numbers are in the form 2m x 5n, where m and n are natural numbers. So, the decimal representation of rational numbers can be represented as a terminating decimal.

  2. Taking B as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc, say at a point C.
  3. Taking C as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the arc drawn in step 1, say at D.
  4. Draw the ray OE passing through C.
    Then, ∠EOA = 60°
  5. Draw the ray of passing through D. Then, ∠FOE = 60°.
  6. Next, taking Cand Das centres and with the radius more than \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) CD, draw arcs to intersect each other, say at G.

    ∠FOG = ∠EOG = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠FOE = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (60°) = 30°
    Thus, ∠GOA = ∠GOE + ∠EOA
    = 30° + 60° = 90°

Justification
(i) Join BC.
Then, OC=OB = BC (By construction)
∴ ∆COB is an equilateral triangle.
∴ ∠COB = 60°
∴ ∠EOA = 60°

(ii) Join CD.
Then, OD=OC=CD (By construction)
∴ ∆DOC is an equilateral triangle.
∴ ∠DOC = 60°
∴ ∠FOE = 60°

(iii) Join CG and DG.
In ∆ODG and ∆OCG,
OD = OC (Radii of the same arc)
DG = CG (Arcs of equal radii)
OG = OG (Common)
∴ ∆ ODG ≅ ∆OCG (SSS rule)
∴ ∠DOG = ∠COG (CPCT)
∴ ∠FOG = ∠EOG = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠FOE
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (60°) = 30°
Thus, ∠GOA = ∠GOE + ∠EOA = 30° + 60° = 90°

  1. Take a ray AX with initial point A From AX, cut off AB = 4 cm.
  2. Taking A as centre and radius (= 4 cm), draw an arc of a circle, which intersects AX, say at a point B.
  3. Taking B as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc, say at a point C.
  4. Draw the ray AE passing through C.
  5. Next, taking B as centre and radius (= 4 cm), draw an arc of a circle, which intersects AX, say at a point A
  6. Taking A as centre and with the same radius as in step 5, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc, say at a point C.
    Draw the ray BF passing through C.
    Then, ∆ ABC is the required triangle with gives side 4 cm.

Justification
AB = BC (By construction)
AB = AC (By construction)
∴ AB = BC = CA
∴ ∆ ABC is an equilateral triangle.
∴ The construction is justified.
