You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3sqrt 34 = 17.493,,,,,which is irrational
,
remember rational can be expressed as a/b

sqrt that are not perfect squares are a major group if irrational numbers
,
for decimals remember, termial decimals are rational, ie, .25 =1/4,,,.375 = 3/8,, etc
,
infinite , but repeating decimals are rational, .3333rptg =1/3 etc
,
infinite but not repeating, are irrational,,,,(cannot fit a/b form) this is what we have above
