A decimal need not be a rational. A non-terminating, non recurring decimal is an irrational number. Only a terminating decimal or a recurring decimal is rational and that is because such a number can be expressed as a ratio of two integers.
No, irrational numbers can't be expressed as a terminating decimal.
An irrational number is one which cannot be expressed in the form of a ratio of two integers. This implies that it cannot be represented by a terminating or recurring decimal number.
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction. This means it can either be a terminating decimal or a recurring decimal. A terminating decimal is a decimal that doesn't recur (repeat for ever). A recurring decimal is a decimal that repeats a pattern of numbers after the decimal point. A good example of this is 1/3. 1/3 = 0.333333.... it is a rational number 13.001001001 is a rational number. Either you meant it to recur or not it makes no difference. 13.001001001 = 13 + 1001001/1000000000 as a terminating decimal 13.001001001....... = 12988/999 as a recurring decimal ---- Examples of numbers that are not rational: sqrt(2), pi, exp they are irrational as they cannot be expressed as fractions.
An irrational number has a decimal representation that is non-terminating and non-repeating.
If it is a terminating or recurring decimal then it is not irrational. If it is an infinite, non-recurring decimal, it is irrational.
The decimal expansion of an irrational number is non terminating and non recurring
It is a non non-terminating, non-recurring decimal. It is an irrational number.
A decimal need not be a rational. A non-terminating, non recurring decimal is an irrational number. Only a terminating decimal or a recurring decimal is rational and that is because such a number can be expressed as a ratio of two integers.
Because it has been proven to be an irrational number. And an irrational number cannot have a terminating or recurring decimal representation.
An irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers. The decimal representation of an irrational number is a non-terminating and non-recurring.
An irrational number is a number that has no definite end and a terminating number is a number that has a definite end. So this means that a decimal that is terminating cannot be irrational.
Any terminating decimal or repeating decimal is a rational number.-0.29292929292929 iseither a terminating decimal of the fraction -29292929292929/100000000000000or meant to be a recurring decimal (0.2929...) with the '29' recurring forever of the fraction 29/99Either way, it is a rational number.
Only as an approximation. An irrational number is equivalent to a non-terminating, non-recurring decimal. That is, an infinitely long decimal number without any repeating pattern.
No, irrational numbers can't be expressed as a terminating decimal.
An irrational number is one which cannot be expressed in the form of a ratio of two integers. This implies that it cannot be represented by a terminating or recurring decimal number.
It is non-terminating decimal and therefore it is an irrational number
