I know that the set of square roots of distinct square-free integers is linearly independent over Q. To generalize this fact, define
Rn={n√s∣s integer with prime factorization s=pa11…pakk, where 0≤ai<n}
For example, R2 is the set of square roots of square-free integers.
Question: Is Rn linearly independent over Q for all n≥2?
Harder (?) question: Is ∪n≥2Rn linearly independent over Q?
