Question

Is 98 squared a rational number

Answer 1

Answer: Yes

By definition, any number that can be rewritten as a fraction with integers (the denominator being different from zero) is called a rational number. In this sense, all integers are rational numbers.

In this case we have the following number:

`{98}^(2)=9604`

Now
`9604` is an integer, according to the explanation above is a rational number.

In addition, this number can be expressed as fractions:

`(9604)/(1)` or
`(19208)/(2)`

Therefore,
`{98}^(2)=9604` is a rational number.
