http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.09.06/sylvia1.html
In the initial assumption of that proof, root 6 is assumed to be a/b where a and b have no common factors, but why does having a common factor make it irrational?

Square roots 2015-09-21
mariana pose la question :
I have read various articles on how to find the square root of irrational numbers and every article out there seems to be very confusing.
i read you answer to LUKOW about irrational numbers and i am still quite confused. Say i want to find the square root of 326. i know that it is between 18 and 19 because 18 is the square root of 324 and 19 is the square root of 361 im just very confused about the rest of the process. Please help! ( if possible i would appreciate two examples. thanks)

A rational number 2011-05-17
owais pose la question :
according to definition of irrational number "a number which cannot be expressed in p/q form is called irrational number" square root of 2 is a irrational number but if i round off the digit correct to two decimal places so it becomes 1.41 and we can easily convert into p/q form so it is a rational number ???

I read your response to How is the square root of 3/4 is greater than 3/4?

What I'm hoping for is a way for my students to use their own experience and number intuition to be able to make sense of the issue. As soon as my kids see "if y is this and x is this then..." their little eyes glaze over. Unfortunately, I can't come up with a way myself. Thank you for your help.

The square root of 4 2006-05-07
MaryBeth pose la question :
I am a high school teacher of Algebra. I was recently teaching square roots to my students and an interesting question arose. Our textbook seems to be inconsistent. I was hoping you might be able to give our department your opinion on who is correct as we are divided on the correct way to teach this. When you take the square root of a number, you get two answers, a positive root and a negative root, correct? Our book presents this as √4 = 2 and -√4 = -2 and ±√4 = ±2. Shouldn't it be taught as there are always two roots, the positive and the negative? It seems to me, there is really no reason to have to use the ± as there are always 2 roots, the positive and the negative. But if the negative sign is given then only the negative answer should be given? What's your take?

Primes and square roots 2001-06-14
Paul pose la question :
I have a bit of a math problem. It has to do with determining if a very large number is a prime. One method entails dividing the number by every smaller prime number. If any divide into it, it's not a prime. This would be a big job if the number was something like 400 digits long. Another way I read about was to take the square root of the number and test all the primes less than its square root. The explanation went like this: "When a number is divided by another number that is greater than its square root, the result is a number smaller than the square root. For example, the square root of 36 is 6. Dividing 36 by 2, a smaller number than 6, gives 18, a number that is larger than the square root. To prove that 37 is prime it is only necessary to divide it by primes less than 6, since if it had a prime factor greater than 6, it would have to have one less than 6 as well."

I understand the explanation, up to the last sentence. I fail to see the underlying logic. Why if a prime factor exists below the square does one have to exist above the square too? The number 40 can be divided by the prime 2, a number below its square root, but no other primes can do this above its square root. Have I missed something? What's the logic here?

The square root of two is never supposed to end 1999-03-06
a wondering student pose la question :
i am algebra II and am in the 9th grade. today we were talking about rational and irrational numbers. When we were talking about square roots my friend and i were talking and we thought of something. if you have a square with sides of length one then the diagonal of the square is the square root of 2. Now the square root of two is never supposed to end. But the diagonal of the square ends so therefore doesn't the square root of 2 end. our math teacher did not really answer our question because it was not in the lesson plan and not to many people would see where we were coming from. the answer is really bugging me and i would like to have your input.

The Range of a Function. 1997-09-12
Karel Marek pose la question :
Math Is Book 6 (Ebos/Tuck) question 5(b) gives a surprising answer at the back of the book..

The question is:
Indicate the domain and range for this: y = sqr(x-9) (Square root of)

The answer for the domain is x>=9 which is not surprisingly, but the range is y>=0, yER ... which I could understand if you were not allowed to transform the equation into x as the subject..

But all example on the facing page DO TRANSFORM the equation at will with x and/or y as the subject..

Can you explain this...

Square Roots and Functions. 1997-04-23
Ed pose la question :
1. In most texts the solution to a question such as square root x = -6 is

x is undefined.

Yet when teaching to solve
xsquared = 36
x = +6 or -6

There appears to be a contradiction here. My question is when, where and why do we use the principle square root, not both + and -? This often occurs as the extraneous root in the solution of radical equations and in stating the domain and range of functions involving square roots.

2. Are there any simple rules for determining whether equations are functions without graphing them and doing a vertical line test?
