No. 1) The square root of any positive integer that doesn't happen to be a perfect square is IRRATIONAL.2) If you add a rational and an irrational number, the result is irrational.
7 plus the square root of 5 is an irrational number because the square root of 5 is a never ending decimal number that can't be expressed as a fraction.
The square root of any positive integer can only be a WHOLE NUMBER or IRRATIONAL, so the square root of 7 is irrational.On the other hand, the sum of a rational and an irrational number is always irrational.
As √10 is irrational, 18 + √10 is irrational.
No. The square root of 49 is plus or minus 7, both of which are integers. And integers are rational numbers - whether they are positive or negative.
No. A rational plus an irrational is always an irrational.
Well, darling, when you add two irrational numbers together, they can sometimes magically cancel each other out in such a way that the sum ends up being a rational number. It's like mixing oil and water and somehow getting a delicious vinaigrette. Math can be a wild ride, honey.

The number 5 plus the square root of 7 is irrational. A number is considered rational if it can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, while an irrational number cannot be expressed in this form. Since the square root of 7 is not a perfect square and cannot be simplified to a rational number, the sum of 5 and the square root of 7 is irrational.
This can easily be proved by contradiction. Without loss of generality, I will take specific numbers as an example. The proof can easily be extended to any rational + irrational number. Assumption: 1 plus the square root of 2 is rational. (It is a well-known fact that the square root of 2 is irrational. No need to prove it here; you can use any other irrational number will do.) This rational sum can be written as p / q, where "p" and "q" are whole numbers (this is basically the definition of a "rational number"). Then, the square root of 2, which is equal to the sum minus 1, is: p / q - 1 = p / q - q / q = (p - q) / q Since the difference of two whole numbers is a whole number, this makes the square root of 2 rational, which doesn't make sense.
