<p>If it repeated, we wouldn’t have computers dedicated to calculating pi out to n number of places. They could just find the repetition point and be done with it.</p>
<p>Perhaps the computers are searching for the repetition point. :)</p>
<p>OK, I’m just messing with you now. As you say, you are in hell, after all.</p>
<p>Hahaha, yessir, I am. Especially tonight! So much hw to be done that I’ve procrastinated.</p>
<p>
Lol were we SUPPOSED to use calculators on SAT reasoning Math!!! Aahahahaha. Wow. That probably would have helped. I managed an 800 on it, but still, too many calculations by hand… lolool.</p>
<p>I blame my calculator for my double 780.</p>
<p>e = 2.718281828</p>
<p>Andrew Jackson was the <em>7</em>th President and he was elected in <em>1828</em> for the first of two terms (repeat).</p>
<p>:O</p>
<p>Nice mnemonic, but I think it goes deeper than that. THIS CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE!</p>
<p>Can someone please help me convince my friend not to take the SAT without his clothes?</p>
<p>HAHA! I lol’d.</p>
<p>I should suggest that to this friend. I think he’d consider it.</p>
<p>If pi ever repeated, it would be a rational number, not an irrational number. I’m not exactly sure why we know it is an irrational number, but I know that it is, and thus, by definition it cannot repeat. If it did repeat, it could be expressed as a fraction. For example, some people think that e repeats as 2.718281828…and so forth. Yet, you can express this as a fraction (just in the way you can find .999999…=1).</p>
<p>x=2.718281828…
10000x=27182.81828…
and then solve. notice the “…” will cancel (cool stuff)</p>
<p>if you get this fraction, say p/q … try typing p/q-e into your calculator. you will not get 0!! (since they are no equal…e is not rational)</p>
<p>just wanted to add a little math to the thread :)</p>
<p>5x=10
Where is point A located on plane B.</p>
<p>Hmmm. </p>
<p>Update: He’s been studying fairly intensively this week! He got a 750 on the Barron’s diagnostic and just got a 720 on a Barron’s practice. Solid.</p>
<p>I haven’t talked to him yet but a mutual friend says that he omitted 4. (One was log11.2, and there were three choices that were 1.0something, so he couldn’t guess.) I don’t think he yet knows of any that he’s gotten wrong. Chances are looking good!</p>
<p>Mad props if he pulls an 800. He’s a baller.</p>
<p>He now thinks he only omitted two, but he feels like he has the potential to miss about four of the ones he answered (but he’s not sure). That would put him at 43/50… So it’s pretty close.</p>
<p>43 is always 800. Sometimes 41 is.</p>
<p>He got a 750! (And seems disappointed. And is retaking in Jan. Prick.)</p>
<p>lol. it’s possible to get a mediocre score without a calculator. thanks for confirming that.</p>
<p>No, thank YOU.</p>
<p>LOL I am going to tell everyone that I did mine without a calculator…</p>
<p>I love this thread.</p>
<p>Also 750 without a calculator is very impressive, considering how much help the calculator can be for brute forcing some questions you forgot how to solve properly.</p>
