Rational Numbers: Have decimal representations that either terminate or repeat.
Irrational Numbers: cannot be written in the form m/n, where m and n are integers and n ≠ 0. The decimal representation of an irrational number neither terminates nor repeats.

Together, the set of rational and irrational numbers form the set of real numbers.

When an irrational number is written as a radical, the radical is the exact value of the irrational number.
Use the method practiced in Lab 1 to approximate irrational numbers and their location on the number line.

We use this property to simplify square roots and cube roots that are not perfect squares or perfect cubes, but have factors that are perfect squares or perfect cubes.

Review: Simplifying Radicals
We can simplify a nonperfect radical by converting it from an entire radical to a mixed radical

Some numbers, such as 200, have more than one perfect square factor. The question is: which combination do we use?

To write a radical of index n in simplest form, we write the radicand as a product of 2 factors, one of which is the greatest perfect nth power.
