The rap song where it goes over and over again is ... ya momma ya dig???
If it ends in a decimal, then it must be a whole number. Repeating could be ruled out immediately because even though theoretically it could be a thought of as a repeating decimal with infinite zeros repeating, adding zeros doesn't change the quantity and you could in theory add infinite zeros to the end of ANY decimal. That does not make it repeating.
From what I found 'reinception' is not actually a word. I guess we could do this though.. Inception: an event that is a beginning; a first part or stage of subsequent events Re: Repeating pretty much Repeating a beginning
0.8 repeating is already a decimal, though as a repeating decimal it is usually written as 0.888... or 0.8 with a bar over the 8 signifiying that the 8 is the part of the decimal that repeats. ========================== It's a decimal point followed by an infinite number of 8s, and is equal to 8/9.
its 2 and 2/3 ...2.6 repeating... in calculator i believe it says it is 2.666666667 though.
not evenly, it turns out to be 1786.66666667 repeating to infinity. the calculator on your PC would have been better help for you though.
No. (Though you could express it in decimal form, as 1.285714285714..., a repeating non-terminating decimal.)
If there is one digit repeating, then you put a dot above it. It there repeating string is two or more digits ling then you put a dot over the first and last of one string.Not on this site, though. The site is utterly useless: it will not allow anything but ordinary keyboard characters and a normal font. So all that you can do is to repeat the string once, follow that by ellipses ( ... )and then add "recurring" or "repeating".
If you know what rational fraction it represents then, if the denominator in the fraction's simplest form has any prime factor other than 2 and 5, then it is a repeating decimal and if not it is terminating.Otherwise you need to examine the digits of the decimal representation in detail. Remember though, that the repeating string could be thousands of digits long (or even longer).
It's in simplest form, as 37 is a prime number. .756756756 (repeating 756) is simpler if you ask me though. =)
Not necessarily. Remember that the definition of an irrational number is a number that can't be expressed as a simple fraction. 2/3, for example, is rational by that definition even though its decimal form is a repeating decimal. Since irrational numbers cannot be written as fractions, they don't have fraction forms. So basically, numbers with repeating decimals are considered rational. Irrational numbers don't have repeating decimals.
A repeating decimal is sometimes called a recurring decimal. The main idea is that at some point it must become periodic. That is to say, a certain part of the decimal must repeat, even though not all of it repeats. The parts that repeats is called the repetend. One very important idea is the a real number has a repeating decimal representation if and only if it is rational.
A crystal has an orderly repeating pattern of atoms, so does a polymer. The term "polymer" is usually reserved to describe a substance with a repeating pattern of formula units (monomers) which are groups of atoms.
