Is an irrational number a number that is represented by a nonrepeating decimal?

Yes,
However, it is not defined that way. It is defined as a number that cannot be expressed precisely as a ratio of two real numbers (a fraction). But that is equivalent to a non-repeating decimal.

What can be a number that can be expressed as a nonrepeating nonterminating decimal?
an irrational number
Can an irrational number be nonrepeating and nonterminating?
Yes.
Do irrational contain decimals?
An irrational number can be represented by a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal.
Can irrational numbers be decimals?
An irrational number by definition can not be exactly represented by a decimal that terminates or recurs. The moment a decimal terminates, or settles into a repeating pattern, it is rational.
What is the approximate of each irrational?
Every irrational number can be represented by a non-terminating non-repeating decimal. Rounding this decimal representation to a suitable degree will provide a suitable approximation.

What does an irrational look like?
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 decimal number is an irrational number?
A decimal number can be rational or irrational.
Why can't irrational numbers ever be precisely represented in a decimal form?
Suppose an irrational number can be written precisely in decimal form, with n digits after the decimal point. Then if you multiply the decimal value by 10n you will get an integer, say k. Then the decimal representation is equivalent to k/10n, which is a ratio of two integers and so the number, by definition, is rational - not irrational.
What is the exact fraction form of pi?
It is said to be 22/7. And it is 3.14 in decimal form. * * * * * pi is a transcendental number which is a kind of irrational number. An irrational number cannot be represented as an exact fraction.
Is -74 an irrational number?
-74 is not an irrational number. An irrational number can not be represented in the form of a faction.
Can an irrational number be represented on a number line?
Not normally because an irrational number can't be expressed as a fraction which can be represented on the number line.
