A student says that \(0.101001000100001\ldots\) is a rational number because it contains only the digits 0 and 1. What is the correct evaluation of the student's statement?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The statement is incorrect because the decimal is non-terminating and non-repeating.

Digits 0 and 1 alone do not make a number rational. The gaps of zeros are 1, 2, 3, 4,..., so no block repeats. Thus the decimal is irrational. Exam tip: look for a fixed repeating block.
