is -.06006000600006 a rational or irrational number
2 answers
I do not know of any trick to prove it rational, so suspect it is irrational.
If the number is
-.06006000600006....
I.e. the decimal expansion does not terminate and the number of zeroes increases by one between the sixes, then the number is irrational because the decimal expansion of a rational number must either terminate or be periodic.
