Answer:


√(4),
√(9),
√(16)

Explanation:

I think that you are asking for 3 examples of square roots that are rational. All perfect squares are rational. If the square root is not a perfect square then the number is irrational.


\sqrt{4 = 2 and -2. The number multiplied by itself is an integer. Integers are the whole numbers and their opposites: ...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3...

1/2 is not an integers. 0.75 is not an integer.


√(9) is 3 and -3


√(16) is 4 and -4

Numbers like:


√(3) is irrational because this number in a decimal form never terminates or repeats.
