Square Roots - Avalue that, when multiplied by itself, gives the number (ex. √36=±6). Perfect Squares - A number made by squaring an integer. Integer – A number that is not a fraction. Remember The answer to all square roots can be either positive or negative. We write this by placing the ± sign in front of the number.
All Square Roots of Perfect Squares are Rational Numbers! Rational Numbers – Numbers that can be written as a ratio or fraction. These numbers can also be written as terminating decimals or repeating decimals. Terminating Decimals – A decimal that does not go on forever (ex. O.25). Repeating Decimals – A decimal that has numbers that repeat forever (ex. 0.3, 0.372)
The Square Roots of Non-Perfect Squares are Irrational Numbers. Irrational Numbers – Numbers that are not Rational. They cannot be written as ratios or fractions. They are decimals which never end or repeat. Examples: π, √2, √83
The square roots of perfect squares are rational numbers and can be place on a number line. √1 √4 √9 √16 √25 √36 The square roots of non-perfect squares are irrational numbers. We cannot pinpoint their location on a number line, however we can approximate it.
Approximate where the following square roots would be on the number line: √2, √7, √31 √1 √4 √9 √16 √25 √36
Approximate where the following square roots would be on the number line: √2, √7, √31 √1 √2 √4 √7 √9 √16 √25 √31 √36
