Answer:

Irrational Number

Explanation:

A rational number as a decimal is repeating and goes on forever (terminating).

An irrational number in it's decimal form is non repeating and non-terminating. So pi, 3.14159, neither repeats nor terminates, in which it would be an irrational number.

To summarize, 5.88642 is an irrational number.
