If the decimal doesn't terminate or repeat is is it a rational number still or not?
Not.
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.
How do you tell if a number is rational or irrational?
a rational number repeats but terminates.ex:3.333333333. a irrational number doesn't terminate or repeat itself. ex:3.334334433444.
Why repeating decimals happen?
A repeating decimal is any rational number whose decimal representation does not terminate after a given number of digits. As only a very small quantity of the rational numbers terminate in their decimal representation, practically any rational number picked at random will be a repeating decimal.
What is the difference between the decimal expansion in irrational and rational numbers?
Decimals that terminate or repeat in some fashion are rational, while decimals that expand forever are irrational.
