Chapter 11-1 p.560 Square Roots and Irrational Numbers
3 2 1 The square of an integer is a perfect square. The opposite of squaring a number is taking the square root.
Example • For example asks what number multiplied by itself is equal to 81? That number is 9. Is there another solution to that problem?
Example • For example asks what number multiplied by itself is equal to 81? That number is 9. Is there another solution to that problem? Yes, -9 is also a solution.
Squares and roots • Here is a list that will be helpful:
Do you see that squares and square roots are inverses (opposites) of each other?
Estimating square roots • Once we have memorized these squares and their roots, we can estimate square roots that are not perfect squares • For example, what about ?
Estimating square roots • We find the two perfect squares that are before and after the square root of 8. . . • and • Look at them on a number line: 3 2
Estimating square roots • We can see that is between 2 and 3 but is closer to 3. We would say that is approximately 3. 3 2
Rational number- can be written as a fraction • Irrational number- cannot be written as a fraction because: • it is a non-terminating decimal • it is a decimal that does NOT repeat * The square roots of ALL perfect squares are rational. * The square roots of numbers that are NOT perfect squares are irrational.
