Irrational numbers.
Before we consider the given number, let's recall the various types of numbers.
Now, let's try to categorize the given number using these definitions. sqrt(11) Because none of the factors of the radicand are perfect squares, this square root cannot be simplified. We can, however, use a calculator to find its exact value. sqrt(11)=3.316624... Since the decimal part is infinite with non-repeating digits, sqrt(11) is an irrational number.
