To find an irrational number between \(\frac{1}{7}\) and \(\frac{2}{7}\), we can first convert these fractions to decimal form:
\[
\frac{1}{7} \approx 0.142857
\]
\[
\frac{2}{7} \approx 0.285714
\]
Now, we need to find an irrational number between approximately 0.142857 and 0.285714. One common example of an irrational number is the square root of a non-perfect square.
For instance, let's take \(\sqrt{2}\):
\[
\sqrt{2} \approx 1.414213
\]
This value is obviously greater than \(\frac{1}{7}\) and much greater than \(\frac{2}{7}\). Instead, we can scale down by dividing it by a sufficiently large number.
Let's try the following:
\[
\frac{\sqrt{2}}{10} \approx 0.141421
\]
This value is slightly less than \(\frac{1}{7}\).
Next, let's consider:
\[
\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3} \approx 0.471404
\]
This value, however, is greater than \(\frac{2}{7}\).
To find an irrational number in the desired range, consider a fraction of an irrational number.
**Finding the appropriate number:**
Let’s just average the two bounds to guide us, and then slightly adjust:
\[
\text{Average} = \frac{\frac{1}{7} + \frac{2}{7}}{2} = \frac{3/7}{2} = \frac{3}{14} \approx 0.2142857
\]
Now we can take an irrational number in this neighborhood. A specific choice might be:
\[
x = \frac{1}{7} + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{100}.
\]
Calculating gives:
\[
\frac{1}{7} + 0.0141421 \approx 0.142857 + 0.0141421 \approx 0.157,
\]
which lies between \(0.142857\) and \(0.285714\).
Thus, a specific irrational number between \(\frac{1}{7}\) and \(\frac{2}{7}\) is:
\[
\frac{1}{7} + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{100}.
\]
This is an irrational number within your specified range.
\[
\frac{1}{7} \approx 0.142857
\]
\[
\frac{2}{7} \approx 0.285714
\]
