A student uses a calculator to find an equivalent decimal value for 17/19 and concludes that this number is irrational. Explain why you either agree or disagree.

Respuesta :

Disagree.  The student had a caculator that did not display every decimal place.  [tex]\frac{17}{19}[/tex] = 0.894736842105263

Since it has a terminating decimal, it is a rational number.
