Question

What is a surd
Give examples​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Surds are numbers left in 'square root form' (or 'cube root form' etc). They are therefore irrational numbers. The reason we leave them as surds is because in decimal form they would go on forever and so this is a very clumsy way of writing them.

Examples are √2, √5, ∛17 which are square roots or cube roots or nth root of any positive integer. For example, each of the quantities √3, ∛7, ∜19, (16)^25 etc. is a surd.

Hope it helps you.
