A number that is multiplied by itself to form a
product is a square root of that product. The
radical symbol is used to represent square
roots. For nonnegative numbers, the operations
of squaring and finding a square root are inverse
operations. In other words, for x ≥ 0,
Positive real numbers have two square roots.

The principal square root of a number is the
positive square root and is represented by . A
negative square root is represented by – . The
symbol is used to represent both square roots.
1-5 Roots and Irrational Numbers
The small number to the left of the root is the
index. In a square root, the index is understood
to be 2. In other words, is the same as .
Writing Math
1-5 Roots and Irrational Numbers
A number that is raised to the third power to form
a product is a cube root of that product. The
symbol indicates a cube root. Since 23
= 8,
= 2. Similarly, the symbol indicates a fourth
root: 2 = 16, so = 2.

Square roots of numbers that are not perfect
squares, such as 15, are not whole numbers. A

square roots of perfect squares to help estimate the
square roots of other numbers.

Additional Example 3: Art Application
As part of her art project, Shonda will need to
make a paper square covered in glitter. Her
tube of glitter covers 13 in². Estimate to the
nearest tenth the side length of a square with
an area of 13 in².
Since the area of the square is 13 in², then each
side of the square is in. 13 is not a perfect
square, so find two consecutive perfect squares
that is between: 9 and 16. is between
and , or 3 and 4. Refine the estimate.

The side length of the paper square is
Since 3.6 is too low and 3.65 is too high, is
between 3.6 and 3.65. Round to the nearest tenth.

Check It Out! Example 3
Since the area of the square is 26 ft², then each
side of the square is ft. 26 is not a perfect
square, so find two consecutive perfect squares

1-5 Roots and Irrational Numbers
Real numbers can be classified according to their
characteristics.
Natural numbers are the counting
numbers: 1, 2, 3, …
Whole numbers are the natural numbers
and zero: 0, 1, 2, 3, …
Integers are the whole numbers and their
opposites: –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …
1-5 Roots and Irrational Numbers
Rational numbers are numbers that can be
expressed in the form , where a and b are both
integers and b ≠ 0. When expressed as a decimal,
a rational number is either a terminating decimal
or a repeating decimal.
• A terminating decimal has a finite number of
digits after the decimal point (for example, 1.25,
2.75, and 4.0).
• A repeating decimal has a block of one or more
digits after the decimal point that repeat
continuously (where all digits are not zeros).
1-5 Roots and Irrational Numbers
Irrational numbers are all numbers that are not
rational. They cannot be expressed in the form
where a and b are both integers and b ≠ 0. They
are neither terminating decimals nor repeating
decimals. For example:
0.10100100010000100000…
After the decimal point, this number contains 1
followed by one 0, and then 1 followed by two
0’s, and then 1 followed by three 0’s, and so on.
This decimal neither terminates nor repeats, so it is
an irrational number.
1-5 Roots and Irrational Numbers
If a whole number is not a perfect square, then its
square root is irrational. For example, 2 is not a
perfect square and is irrational.
