Is the square root of -17 a rational or irrational number?
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.
