Is -0.575 an irrational number?
No An irrational number goes on forever with no repeating pattern.
Is an ongoing decimal a rational no. or irrational noex. 2.586.....?
If the decimal is rational if it continues in a pattern. ex 2.586586586586586.... It is irrational if it continues forever without a pattern. ex 2.586943732434006843...
Can irrational numbers be decimals?
An irrational number by definition can not be exactly represented by a decimal that terminates or recurs. The moment a decimal terminates, or settles into a repeating pattern, it is rational.
What kind of numbers are decimals with a repeating pattern of digits?
either irrational numbers, integers, integers, rational numbers, or whole numbers
Is the decimal form of an irrational number a repeating decimal?
An irrational number must not have a repeating sequence. If we have a number, such as 0.333333...., we can turn this into a rational number as such.Let x = 0.333333......, then multiply both sides by 10:10x = 3.333333......Now subtract the first equation from the second, since the 3's go on forever, they will cancel each other out and you're left with:9x = 3. Now divide both sides by 9: x = 3/9 which is 1/3, a rational number equal to 0.3333333....If a number can be expressed as the ratio a/b, where a and b are integers (with the restriction that b not equal zero), then the number is rational. If you cannot express the number as such, then it is irrational.
Are repeating decimals rational or irrational numbers?
Repeating decimals are rational numbers if there is a pattern, like 0.22222222. If it is not a pattern, like 0.568964329, it is an irrational number.
Is -0.575 an irrational number?
No An irrational number goes on forever with no repeating pattern.
Are non-terminating decimals rational numbers?
If they are non-terminating and there is a repeating pattern, then they are rational. If they are non-terminating and there is no repeating pattern, as in pi, they are irrational.
Is 1.6666 a irrational number?
Written terminating as it does, it is a rational number. If that is the first bit with the 6 repeating forever (1.666...), then it is still a rational number. Irrational numbers as those numbers in decimal format that neither terminate nor end with a repeating sequence of digits.
Is a number with an unending decimal expansion irrational?
No. If the decimal expansion falls into a repeating pattern (however long) then the number is rational. For example, 0.33... is the rational number 1/3. or 0.04142857142857... where the pattern 142857 continues forever is the rational number 29/700.
The number pi goes on forever with no repeating pattern therefore its irrational?
Correct -

Is 75.082106 repeating rational or irrational?
Any time a pattern of digits repeats over and over, it's a rational number.
The number pi goes on forever with no repeating pattern therefore it is irrational. true or false?
True
What is an irrational number that is a perfect square?
That isn't possible. Rational numbers either terminate or have a repeating pattern, and irrational numbers are all the rest. Perfect squares terminate, therefore they are rational.
Is 7.11 rational or irrational?
A number with a finite number of decimal digits is always rational. (If the number of decimal digits is infinite, the number is rational only if there is a repeating pattern.)
Is a ellipsis decimal rational?
Sometimes. Ellipses are used in repeating decimals like 7.4444... or 8.121212... to show that the pattern repeats forever. Repeating decimals are rational. Ellipses are also used in non-repeating, non-terminating decimals like pi = 3.14159... . Non-repeating, non-terminating decimals are irrational.
