Here are the terms and their meanings:
1. Real Numbers - All rational and irrational numbers. These include both whole numbers and decimal fractions.
2. Irrational Numbers - Numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio between two integers and are not imaginary. They often have decimal representations that neither terminate nor repeat.
3. Rational Numbers - Any number that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers, where the denominator is not zero. This includes both integers and fractions.
4. Integers - Zero, positive numbers, and negative numbers without any fractional or decimal parts.
5. Whole Numbers - All positive numbers starting from zero, without any fractional or decimal parts.
6. Natural Numbers - Also known as counting numbers, these are the positive numbers used for counting and ordering things.
7. Radical - The symbol used to denote operations like square root, cubed root, etc.
8. Square Root - A value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the number. For example, the square root of 16 is 4, because 4 * 4 = 16.
9. Perfect Squares - Numbers that are obtained by squaring a whole number. For example, 4, 9, and 16 are perfect squares.
10. Cube Roots - A special value that, when used in a multiplication three times, gives the number. For example, the cube root of 8 is 2, because 2 * 2 * 2 = 8.
11. Terminating Decimals - Decimals that can be expressed in a finite number of figures. For example, 0.25 is a terminating decimal.
12. Repeating Decimals - Decimal fractions in which a figure or group of figures is repeated indefinitely. For example, 0.333... is a repeating decimal.
13. Truncate - A method of approximating a decimal number by dropping all decimal places past a certain point without rounding. For example, truncating 1.456 to one decimal place would result in 1.4.
14. Radicand - The number under a radical symbol. For example, in the square root of 9, the radicand is 9.
