Question

Which numbers are both integers and irrational numbers would it be 09 or square roots of integers or negative integers

By definition, irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. This means they have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions.

- **Integers** are whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero (e.g., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.).

- **Irrational numbers** include numbers like the square root of non-perfect squares (e.g., √2, √3, etc.), π (pi), and e (Euler's number).

Since integers are whole numbers, they cannot be irrational because they can be expressed as fractions (e.g., 1 can be expressed as 1/1, -2 as -2/1, etc.).

Thus, no number can be both an integer and an irrational number at the same time. Therefore:

- **09** is an integer (equivalent to 9).
- The square roots of non-perfect squares, like √2 or √3, are irrational.
- Negative integers are also integers.

In summary, integers cannot be irrational, so the answer is that there are no numbers that are both integers and irrational numbers.
