No because 14 is a rational number
Is the square root of fraction 196225 irrational or rational?
If you mean the square root of 196/225 then it is 14/15 which is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction.
Is the square root of 14 rational or irrational number?
Search for the proof for the irrationality of the square root of 2. The same reasoning applies to any positive integer that is not a perfect square. In summary, the square root of any positive integer is either a whole number, or - as in this case - it is irrational.
What number is rational 12 14 0.76 or pie?
Pie is always regarded as an irrational no. 12140.76 is rational as it is a terminating no. Irrational no. is always non-terminating and non repeating. example- Square root 2 , pie etc.
Why cant you assume that a number is irrational because it is expressed using the square root symbol?
Well, for example, the square root of 4 is 2, which is a rational number. As long as the number which is being square rooted is not a square number itself (i.e. 1, 4, 9, 16 etc.), then it will be irrational. So..... the square roots of 49, 100, 196, for example, are all rational numbers (7, 10 and 14 respectively.) They do not have to be integers. The square of of any rational number automatically has a rational square root eg the square root of 77.41792 is 77.4179 . Rational means expressable as a ratio of integers: 77.4179 is 774179/10000 .
