Have a cheeseburger and think about it!!! No one really knows!!!! ___ Infinite means not finite or not fixed or not determined. We casually think of it as a 'number', because it is most often brought up in some kind of mathematical context. Mathematicians have come up with ways of understanding infinity, but I'm sure no mathematician would ever conclude that infinity is actually a number that can be determined. It would then not be infinite. And of course you could always add one to it. Sometimes our use of the word 'infinite' compounds the problem, and this is a pet peeve. You may hear someone say "There is an infinite number of possibilities", or something similar. [Or much worse, There are an infinite number of possibilities...] I think "infinite number" is a meaningless, contradictory and mis-leading term. I always opt for "infinitely many", which to me suggests an appropriate degree of ambiguity.

Is a decimal that ends with . terminating or repeating?

If it ends in a decimal, then it must be a whole number. Repeating could be ruled out immediately because even though theoretically it could be a thought of as a repeating decimal with infinite zeros repeating, adding zeros doesn't change the quantity and you could in theory add infinite zeros to the end of ANY decimal. That does not make it repeating.
