Question

is 1 divided by root 2 is rational explain​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$1 \div \sqrt{2}$

It is rational number because the value of root 2 is repeating or terminating. And when it is divided by 1 its value will also be repeated or terminated.

Answer 2

Answer:

The square root of 2 is irrational. How do I know? Let me explain ...

Squaring a Rational Number

First, let us see what happens when we square a rational number:

If the rational number is a/b, then that becomes a2/b2 when squared.

Example:

( 34 )2 = 3242

Notice that the exponent is 2, which is an even number.

But to do this properly we should really break the numbers down into their prime factors (any whole number above 1 is prime or can be made by multiplying prime numbers):

Example:

( 34 )2 = ( 32×2 )2 = 3224

Notice that the exponents are still even numbers. The 3 has an exponent of 2 (32) and the 2 has an exponent of 4 (24).

In some cases we may need to simplify the fraction:

Example: ( 1690 )2

Firstly: 16 = 2×2×2×2 = 24, and 90 = 2×3×3×5 = 2×32×5

( 1690 )2 = ( 242×32×5 )2

= ( 2332×5 )2

= 2634×52

But one thing becomes obvious: every exponent is an even number!

So we can see that when we square a rational number, the result is made up of prime numbers whose exponents are all even numbers.

When we square a rational number, each prime factor has an even exponent.

Back to 2

Now, let us look at the number 2: could this have come about by squaring a rational number?

As a fraction, 2 is 2/1

Which is 21/11 ,and that has odd exponents!

Can we get rid of odd exponents?

We could write 1 as 12 (so it has an even exponent), and then we have:

2 = 21/12

But there is still an odd exponent (on the 2).

We can simplify the whole thing to 21, but still an odd exponent.

We could even try things like 2 = 4/2 = 22/21, but we still cannot get rid of an odd exponent

Oh no, there is always an odd exponent.

So it could not have been made by squaring a rational number!

This means that the value that was squared to make 2 (ie the square root of 2) cannot be a rational number.

In other words, the square root of 2 is irrational.
