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 this statement?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is irrational because the number of zeros between successive 1s keeps increasing, so no repeating block is formed.

The groups of zeros between 1s have lengths 1, 2, 3, 4, \(\ldots\), so there is no fixed repeating block. Its decimal expansion is non-terminating and non-repeating; hence it is irrational. Exam tip: identify such decimals as irrational.
