square root of 9 = 3 but 2, 17 and 23 are Irrational Numbers
No, and I can prove it: -- The product of two rational numbers is always a rational number. -- If the two numbers happen to be the same number, then it's the square root of their product. -- Remember ... the product of two rational numbers is always a rational number. -- So the square of a rational number is always a rational number. -- So the square root of an irrational number can't be a rational number (because its square would be rational etc.).
The square root of 13 is irrational. All square roots of whole numbers are irrational unless the number is a perfect square.
Numbers are either irrational (like the square root of 2 or pi) or rational (can be stated as a fraction using whole numbers). Irrational numbers are never rational.
Actually there are more irrational numbers than rational numbers. Most square roots, cubic roots, etc. are irrational (not rational). For example, the square of any positive integer is either an integer or an irrational number. The numbers e and pi are both irrational. Most expressions that involve those numbers are also irrational.
Yes, the square of any rational number is also a rational number.The square root of 2 is not a rational number.

Every integer is a rational number, and some integers are perfect squares. These are the only rational numbers to have an integral square root.
No, not all square roots are rational numbers. A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction where the numerator and denominator are integers and the denominator is not zero. Square roots that are perfect squares, such as √4 or √9, are rational numbers because they can be expressed as whole numbers. However, square roots of non-perfect squares, such as √2 or √3, are irrational numbers because they cannot be expressed as a simple fraction.
Yes. The square root of 81 is 9 - a natural number and all natural numbers are rational numbers.
No. The only square roots of integers that are rational numbers only when the integer is a perfect square.
Only if the square root of the numerator and the square root of the denominator are both rational numbers.
All numbers can make a square. Every real number makes a positive real square. Every rational number makes a rational square. Every integer makes a perfect square.
The discriminant must be a perfect square or a square of a rational number.
The set of rational numbers is a subset of the set of real numbers. That means that every rational number is a real number, but not every real number is rational. The square root of 2 is an example of a real number that isn't rational; that is, it can't be expressed as the quotient of two integers.
The square root of four is a real number because it is a non-negative number that can be expressed on the number line. It is also a rational number because it can be expressed as the fraction 2/1. In fact, it is both a real number and a rational number, as all rational numbers are also real numbers.
'47' is a prime number, so it does not have a rational square root. sqrt(47) = 6.8556546... to 9 d.p. An irrational number which cannot be converted to a quotient; that is made into a fraction. NB The square roots of prime numbers are irrational.
There are an infinite number of rational numbers between these two numbers, but the only positive integer between these numbers is 6.
