Real Numbers and the Number Line

A number that is the product of some other number with itself, or a number to the second power, such as 9 = 3 × 3 = 32, is called a

perfect square. The number that is raised to the second power is called the square root of the product. In this case, 3 is the square root

of 9. This is written in symbols as Sometimes square roots are whole numbers, but in other cases, they can be estimated.

What is an estimate for the square root of 150?

There is no whole number that can be multiplied by itself to give the product of 150.

10× 10 = 100 11× 11 = 121 12× 12 = 144 13× 13 = 169

You cannot find the exact value of 150 , but you can estimate it by comparing

150 to perfect squares that are close to 150.

150 is between 144 and 169, so 150 is between 144 and 169 .

144 150 169

12 150 13

The square root of 150 is between 12 and 13. Because 150 is closer to 144 than it is to 169, we can estimate that the square root of 150

is slightly greater than 12.

Exercises

nearest integer.
