No, any repeating decimal digit is a rational number. It only states that it is non-terminating decimal. It is rational.

No. It could be a rational or an irrational
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.
Yes, it does.
yes
There are essentially three forms:Terminating decimals: 386 or 23.567,Recurring decimals: 36.572343434... (with 34 repeating),Non-terminating infinite decimals: these represent irrational numbers for which the digits after the decimal point go on for ever without falling into a repeating pattern.
