What is an infinite surd?
Infinite surd is a term used in mathematics. The definition of an infinite surd is a never ending irrational number with an exact value that would be left in square root form.
How do you simplify a surd in the form A square root B?
A surd in the form a√b cannot, in general, be simplified.
Is every irrational a surd?
Normally they are.
Is square root of 8 a surd?
yes
Why was an irrational number called a 'surd' as opposed to an 'irrat'?
The term surd traces back to al-Khwārizmī, who referred to rational and irrational numbers as audible and inaudible, respectively. This later led to the Arabic word "أصم‎" (asamm, meaning "deaf" or "dumb") for irrational number being translated into Latin as "surdus" (meaning "deaf" or "mute").
Why pi is not a surd?
A surd is the square root of an integer (whole number), e.g. square root of 2 is a surd. Pi is not the square root of an integer so not a surd, just an irrational number
Is the square root pi is surd?
Yes.
Is root pi is a surd?
Technically it is, as pi can be considered as a rational number, if left as pi, and not 3.145...
Is square root of pi a surd?
Yes. A surd is any irrational number that can be expressed as the root of another number. As pi is a number, although it is a transcendental and hence irrational, the square root of pi is still an irrational number that can be expressed as the square root of another number.
Why all irrational numbers are not surd?
There are transcendental numbers such as pi, e, phi. The fact that they are transcendental means that they are not solutions of non-trivial algebraic polynomials with rational coefficients. There is, therefore, no surd form for such numbers.
Is 5 a surd?
Yes it is a surd
What is a square root of surd?
If the value of the surd is positive, then it will be another surd. Otherwise it will be a complex number.
Cube root of 7 is a surd but is cube root of negative seven a surd?
I am pretty sure that the cube root of negative seven is a surd. I checked on the calculator.......and it showed a negative number.....??I think when it is not a surd...it's supposed to say error, so the number probably means that it is a surd..
Is there a law that you divide the surd index of a surd with a real no?
No. It is not a criminal or civil offence!
Who invented surd's?
i did
