how to classify √7 is rational or irrational number
Answers
Answer:
A rational number is defined as a number that can be expressed in the form of a quotient or division of two integers, i.e. p/q, where q is not equal to 0.
IN DETAIL:-
A rational number is defined as a number that can be expressed in the form of a quotient or division of two integers, i.e. p/q, where q is not equal to 0. √7 = 2.645751311064591. Due to its never-ending nature after the decimal point, √7 is irrational.

Answer:
root7 is an irrational number.
Step-by-step explanation:
lets assume that root 7 is rational
so root7=a/b (rational numbers can be written in p/q form)
and hcf(a,b)=1
now,
a=root7b
on squaring both sides
a²=root7²b²
a²=7b²
so 7 is a factor of a²
and thus 7 is also a factor of a
now
a=7k (where k is any number)
similarly
a²=root7b
(7k²)=root7b²
49k²=7b²
7k²=b²
thus 7 is factor of b²
and also 7 is factor of b
now as we know
hcf(a,b) = 7
but it should be 1 as we assumed, and hence our assumption is wrong.
thus root 7 is an irrational number
