Most high school algebra books show a proof (by contradiction) that the square root of 2 is irrational. The same proof can easily be adapted to the square root of any positive integer, that is not a perfect square. You can find the proof (for the square root of 2) on the Wikipedia article on "irrational number", near the beginning of the page (under "History").
because 2 times 2 = 4
Since the square root of a number is the "number times itself that equals the original number," it makes sense that the larger the original number, then the larger the square root. The value of the square root of 2 will be greater than the value of the square root of 1.5.
The square root of a value v is a number x such that, x multiplied by x equals v. Note that -x is also a square root.
It is no tpossible to find the square root of an unknown number. You can, however, represent it as x0.5 or √x so that the value of the square root can be evaluated when the value of x is known.

115.849 is the square root of 13421 Note: 13421 is not a perfect square and hence the decimal value for square root.
The square root of a negative value is called an imaginary number.
Yes. The square root of a positive integer can ONLY be either:* An integer (in this case, it isn't), OR * An irrational number. The proof is basically the same as the proof used in high school algebra, to prove that the square root of 2 is irrational.
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.
