explain irrational square roots?

geerky42 (geerky42):

Exactly what do you mean by irrational square root? I can tell you this; whenever integer in square root is NOT square number, this square root is irrational.

how would i solve this http://prntscr.com/7cfmad

geerky42 (geerky42):

Which number in square root is NOT square number?

geerky42 (geerky42):

For example. \(9\) is square number because \(3^2 = 9\). So \(\sqrt9\) is not irrational since \(\sqrt9 = 3\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's 99?

geerky42 (geerky42):

Right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

geerky42 (geerky42):

\(99 = 11\times9\), which is not square number.
