Terminating means coming to an end so non-terminating means not ending.
A non-terminating decimal may either consist of repeating sets of digits (such as in the decimal representation of some rational numbers eg 3/7 = 0.428571 428571 428571 ...) or a random sequence of digits (as in the decimal representation of an irrational number).
A nonterminating number does not end. An example is the fraction 1/3. When written as a decimal, it is a nonterminating number. Also pi is a nonterminating number. Some nonterminating numbers are repeating, some are nonrepeating. But they just don't end.
Not at all. 0.33333... nonterminating = 1/3 rational 0.66666... nonterminating = 2/3 rational 0.1428571428... nonterminating = 1/7 rational 0.55555... nonterminating = 5/9 rational
Yes
Yes.
They are irrational.
a terminating decimal is one that has an end like 1/2 is 0.5 nonterminating does not end like 1/3 is 0.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333... where there are an infinite number of 3s on the end. 1/4 is 0.25 so it is also terminating pi is a nonterminating number it is 3.14159265359... it also doesn't have a set pattern to go by so its not only a nonterminating decimal, but it is an irrational number. Hope that helps
No, they are not. Recurring decimals are rational.
an irrational number
Nonterminating Decimal: A decimal that continues without end.For example:The square root of 2 = 1.414213562… Therefore, the square root of 2 is a nonterminating decimal.
It is an infinite non-repeating decimal which represents an irrational number.
1/3 = 0.333333333...1/7 = 0.142857142857....pi = 3.1415926535...
Irrational numbers.
