No - a square root of a negative number is an imaginary number. for example, sqrt(-9) is equal to 3i.
Yes 3 is a rational number
Because 9 is a perfect square - which means that its square root is an integer. 3 is not a perfect square.
Yes. It's +9 and -9. They're both rational.
The square root of any perfect square, or a ratio of perfect squares. eg sqrt(9/25) = 3/5, is rational.

No, in fact unless an integer has an integral square root, the square root is always irrational. Note that some rational fractions can have rational square roots, though. Example: sqrt(4/9) = sqrt(4)/sqrt(9) = 2/3, which is rational. Or sqrt(9/16) = 3/4

no the square root of 9 is 3 which is rational since it can be written as 3/1. remember a rational number is any number that can be written as a/b where a and b are integers.

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 .
an irrarional number is a number that can't be written as a fraction or whole number. -sqrt(9)=-3 This is a whole number so it isn't irrational, just rational
No, the square root of 3 is not rational.No. The square root of 3 is irrational.More generally: if p is a prime number then the square root of p is irrational and the proof of this fact mimics the famous proof of irrationality of the square root of 2.No - the square root of 3 is not rational, but the proof is too involved to post here.
No. The square root of 9 is 3. An irrational number is a number that can't be expressed with a fraction, meaning it is not an integer or a whole number. Numbers such as pi or e are irrational. Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed with a fraction. Hope this helps!
No. sqrt(4/9) = 2/3 is rational. sqrt(0.64) = 0.8 = 4/5 is rational.
The square roots of 9 are ±3. These can be written in the form of ratios ±3/1 and, consequently, are rational numbers.
No, it is rational.
