Mertz Apodization Function

An asymmetrical apodization function defined by

M(x,b,d)={0 for x<-b; (x-b)/(2b) for -b<x<b; 1 for b<x<b+2d; 0 for x<b+2d,

(1)

where the two-sided portion is long (total) and the one-sided portion is long (Schnopper and Thompson 1974, p. 508). The instrument function is

$M_A(k,b,d)=(sin[2pik(b+2d)])/(2pik)+i{(cos[2pik(b+2d)])/(2pik)-(sin(2b))/(4pi^2k^2b)}.$

Is sqrt(1-1/5+1/9) a rational number?
