Answer 1

The correct response is:

irrational

Irrational numbers are real numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers, meaning they cannot be written in the form \( \frac{a}{b} \), where \( a \) and \( b \) are integers. Examples of irrational numbers include \( \sqrt{2} \), \( \pi \), and \( e \).
