Numbers that cannot be expressed as terminating or repeating decimals?
irrational numbers
A number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers or as a repeating or terminating decimal?
It could be what is known as an "irrational number", which is a kind of real number. Alternatively, and at a rather advanced level, it could be a number which is not even a real number.
Is a terminating decimal irrational?
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.
Why does pi continue infinitely?
Because it has been proven to be an irrational number. And an irrational number cannot have a terminating or recurring decimal representation.
Write 1550 as a mixed number and as a decimal?
1550 is an integer and cannot be expressed as a mixed number. As a decimal, it is 1550 - exactly as in the question.
Is the statement A terminating decimal cannot be expressed as a repeating decimal false?
Yes. 5.0 (a terminating decimal) can be expressed as 4.9999... (a repeating decimal) That may be hard to believe but it is true, as proved by Georg Cantor.
Who of the following cannot be written as a fraction an integer a terminating decimal a repeating decimal and a non-terminating non repeating decimal?
The latter which would be an irrational number that cannot be expressed as a fraction.
How do you determine whether you can write a given decimal as a fraction?
If the decimal is terminating or repeating then it can be written as a fraction. Decimal representations which are non-terminating and non-repeating cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Is 10.3 repeating a terminating decimal?
No, the question contradicts itself. If it is repeating then it cannot be terminating and if it is terminating then it cannot be repeating!
Is 10.3 a terminating decimal?
No, the question contradicts itself. If it is repeating then it cannot be terminating and if it is terminating then it cannot be repeating!
Is 10.3 repeated a terminating decimal?
No, the question contradicts itself. If it is repeating then it cannot be terminating and if it is terminating then it cannot be repeating!
What are the irrational numbers?
Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers or as a repeating or terminating decimal.
Can a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal be an irrational number?
No, it cannot.
Why pi irrational?
pi cannot be expressed as a terminating or non-repeating decimal. Consequently, it is irrational. The pure mathematical proof is not simple.
Numbers that cannot be expressed as terminating or repeating decimals?
irrational numbers
What is 13 over 22 as a terminating decimal?
13/22 cannot be expressed as a terminating decimal because the divisor has a factor other that 2 or 5.
What is a number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers or as a repeating of terminating decimal?
That is called an irrational number. Some of the most common irrational numbers are pi (3.14159....) and the square root of 2.
