Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational with justification: (a) 12 - Rational, because it can be expressed as a fraction 12/1. (b) 0.592 - Rational, because it can be expressed as a fraction 592/1000, which can be simplified to 37/62. (c) -0.4 - Rational, because it can be expressed as a fraction -4/10, which can be simplified to -2/5. (d) 0.4014001... - Rational, because it can be expressed as a repeating decimal 0.4014, which can be written as 4014/10000 and simplified to 1007/2500. (e) 9/27 - Rational, because it can be expressed as a fraction 1/3. (f) 1 + 5 - 4 + 5 - Rational, because it can be simplified to 7. (g) 3^(-2) - Rational, because it can be expressed as a fraction 1/9. (h) 3 - 7/2 - Rational, because it can be expressed as a fraction 5/2. (i) 1.72404142... - Irrational, because it is a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal.
