identify each square root as a rational or irrational.
square root -196
square root -196
Eva Barragan said:this is an irational number
the reason for that is because there is no one number that can be multiplied by itself to equal the square root of -196
Both of you are wrong. The square roots, if they exist, are neither rational nor irrational. They are both complex with a nonzero imaginary part.Carolina said:Actually, the square root of -196 is rational as the answer would be -14^2
