    Number Theory - Proving x is not a perfect square?

    Scott, Thanks for the reply, which will surely be useful somepoint in the future. For this specific problem, though, it is quite the opposite actually. Every number is *irrational*. The product contains a bunch of nth roots of 2 and a bunch of nested radicals. How could I go about proving...
