Is 15 point 15151515 repeating an irrational number?
No, any repeating decimal digit is a rational number. It only states that it is non-terminating decimal. It is rational.
Is decimal a rational number?
It depends. A terminating decimal is a rational number. A decimal which, after a finite number of places, becomes a repeating (or recurrent) decimal is also a rational number. A decimal that is not terminating, nor [eventually] settles into a recurring pattern is not a rational number. Note that the decimal need not become recurring immediately.
If it doesn if a decimal doesn't terminate or repeat is it still a rational number or not?
No, if a decimal does not terminate or repeat, it is not a rational number. Rational numbers can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, and their decimal representation either terminates or repeats after a certain point. Decimals that do not have a pattern and continue indefinitely are considered irrational numbers.
What kind of decimal indicates a rational number?
A terminating decimal or a decimal that, after a finite number of digits, settles into a repeating pattern (known as a recurring decimal). This need not happen straight after the decimal point.
What is a rational number in a decimal form that has a block of one or more digits after the decimal point that repeats continuously and are not all zero?
A recurring decimal.
