Question

why is \pi an irrational number?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

\(\pi\) is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers. It is a transcendental number, which means it is not the root of any non-zero polynomial equation with integer coefficients. This makes it impossible to represent \(\pi\) as a finite or repeating decimal. Instead, its decimal representation goes on forever without repeating a pattern.
