Let's try a proof by contradiction (because it isn't rational). Try and follow along the best you can.

√2 = p/q

2 = p2/q2

2q2 = p2

This means that 2q2 (an even number) is equal to another number squared. But this means that p is even, because p2 is even, and only an even number sqaured is an even number. Lets replace p with 2b (because its twice a number because it's even).

IMMA DO THE THINGS THAT I WANNA DO, I AIN'T GOTTA THING TO PROVE TO YOU. I EAT MY CANDY WITH THE PORK AND BEANS!

Is the square root of 72 rational?

No, the square root of 72 is not rational. It can be simplified to 6√2, where √2 is an irrational number. Since the product of a rational number (6) and an irrational number (√2) is irrational, the square root of 72 is also irrational.


Is the square root of a irrational number always rational?

No, the square root of an irrational number is not always rational. In fact, the square root of an irrational number is typically also irrational. For example, the square root of 2, which is an irrational number, is itself irrational. However, there are exceptions, such as the square root of a perfect square of an irrational number, which can be rational.
