The square root of 17 is an irrational number.
The square root of any number (with the exception of perfect squares, of course) is an irrational number.
A rational number is any number that can be represented as a fraction (or ratio, hence the name). So take two numbers, say p and q, whose greatest common factor is 1, and put p over q: p / q.
For instance, 0.1 is a rational number, because it can be represented as 1/10. The same can be said for 0.25, 0.190329, and even integers such as 5 (written as 5/1).
Irrational Numbers can't be expressed as fractions, or ratios, hence their name - it has nothing to do with the sanity of a number!
As has been proven elsewhere, pi (3.14159265...) is irrational, as is Euler's number (e). And of course, as I said above, the square root of any number that is not a perfect square is an irrational number.
The square root of 71 is an irrational number
The square root of 47 is an irrational number.
the square root of 26 is a irrational number
It is a irrational number. Because the square root of every imperfect square is irrational number.
The square root of 37 is an irrational number
The square root of 29 is an irrational number.
[ square root of (4.1) ] is irrational. But [ square root of (4) ] is rational.
The square root of 1.44 is 1.2 which is a rational number
The square root of 11 is an irrational number
The square root of 71 is an irrational number
The square root of 47 is an irrational number.
It is rational. The root of a perfect square, such as 4, is rational; the root of any positive integer that is not a perfect square is an irrational number.
