Irrational Numbers
Irrational Number √2 ∏ (Pi or 3.14) A number that cannot be expressed as a ratio between two integers and is not an imaginary number. If written as a decimal, an irrational number would have an infinite number of digits to the right of the decimal point without repetition. ∏ (Pi or 3.14) √2
