Answer 1

Here are the correct descriptions for each number:

a) 89 is a **terminating** decimal.
b) \( \sqrt{49} \) is a **rational** decimal (since \( \sqrt{49} = 7 \)).
c) -0.071625... is a **non-terminating non-repeating** decimal.
d) 14 is a **terminating** decimal.
e) -0.030303... is a **repeating** decimal.

So, the filled blanks would be:

a) 89 is a **terminating** decimal.
b) \( \sqrt{49} \) is a **rational** decimal.
c) -0.071625... is a **non-terminating non-repeating** decimal.
d) 14 is a **terminating** decimal.
e) -0.030303... is a **repeating** decimal.
