What is a irational number and a rational number whats the differance beween them ?
All integers are rational numbers. The easiest way to see that is to write an integer as a fraction with 1 as a denominator; 4=4/1=8/2; 5=5/1.
Any number that can be written as a ratio of two integers numbers is by definition a rational number ( it is a ratio---rational).
Any decimal number with a periodic decimal part can be cast as a fraction, so it is rational.
An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a fraction.
Examples: PI, sqRT(2), Sqrt(3), SQRT(5), e. There is an infinite number of them.

SOURCE: i dont know what the opposite of a rational number
The opposite of any number (be it integer, rational, or real) is the same number preceded by the negative sign.
Example : the opposite of a is -a (read it a negative a)
opposite of (-b) is -(-b)=b
A rational number is a number that can be written as a fraction. You should note that the set of rational numbers contains the set of all integers .
The opposite of 15/37 is -(15/37) which is equivalent to (-15)/37 and 15/(-37).
