how to find a root number is rational or irrational number
Answers
Answer:
An irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio between two numbers and it cannot be written as a simple fraction because there is not a finite number of numbers when written as a decimal. Instead, the numbers in the decimal would go on forever, without repeating.
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose an elementary school has a square playground with an area of 3000 square feet. Could you find the width of the playground? Would the width be a rational or irrational number?
Square Roots and Irrational Numbers
The square root of a number
n
is any number
s
such that
s2=n
.
Every positive number has two square roots, the positive and the negative. The symbol used to represent the square root is
x−−√
. It is assumed that this is the positive square root of
x
. To show both the positive and negative values, you can use the symbol
±
, read “plus or minus.”
For example:
81−−√=9
means the positive square root of 81.
−81−−√=−9
means the negative square root of 81.
±81−−√=±9
means the positive or negative square root of 81
