Terminating decimal — definition?
A decimal with a finite number of digits after the decimal point.
Recurring decimal — role?
Represents infinite repeating sequences of digits after the decimal.
Rounding methods — purpose?
Adjust numbers to desired precision or simplicity.
Decimal conversion — process?
Express fractions as decimals or vice versa using division or algebra.
Precision — significance?
Indicates the level of detail and accuracy in a number.
Terminating decimals — denominator form?
Denominator of the form 2^m × 5^n after simplification.
Recurring pattern notation?
Bar notation over repeating digits, e.g., 0.3.
Rounding — common rule?
Round up if next digit is 5 or more; down if less.
Long division — in decimal conversion?
Method to divide numerator by denominator to get decimal form.
Approximation — trade-off?
Simplifies but introduces potential errors.
