sqrt229

sqrt(229) denotes the positive square root of the integer 229. It is the real number r such that r^2 = 229. Since 229 is not a perfect square, sqrt(229) is irrational, meaning it cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers and has a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal expansion.

Mathematically, sqrt(229) is an algebraic number of degree 2. It is a root of the polynomial x^2 − 229 = 0, and this polynomial is its minimal polynomial over the rational numbers. The value cannot be obtained exactly by a finite decimal expansion.

In numerical computations, sqrt(229) is commonly approximated to a desired precision. A typical decimal expansion is sqrt(229) ≈ 15.13274595, with shorter approximations such as 15.132746 or 15.1327 used in practical contexts. Methods like the Newton-Raphson iteration can be employed to compute increasingly accurate digits efficiently.

Contextually, sqrt(229) arises in areas of number theory and algebraic number theory, including real quadratic fields of the form Q(√229) and problems related to Pell’s equation x^2 − 229y^2 = 1. The prime nature and arithmetic properties of 229 influence the structure of related algebraic objects, while sqrt(229) itself serves as the real embedding of these quadratic constructs.
