Answer:
1.- If a number can be written or can be converted to p/q form, where p and q are integers and q is a non-zero number, then it is said to be rational and if it cannot be written in this form, then it is irrational.
2.- The square root of a number is that number which when multiplied by itself two times gives us that number.
Example:
Let us use the square root of 64.
√64 = x , so that (x)(x) = 64
We know that, (8)(8) = 64
∴ √64 = 8
The cube root of a number is that number which when multiplied by itself three times gives us that number.
Example:
Let us use the square root of 64
∛64 = x , so that (x)(x)(x) = 64 ,
We know that, 4 x 4 x 4 = 64
∴ ∛64 = 4
