I've got a question I can't figure out anywhere...

Dealing with an infinitely repeating decimal... ie 1/3
To indicate the infinite repeat; one draws a line over the number

What do you call that line?

My wife's 6th grade students call it the "infinity bar" which I'm pretty sure is wrong, but is a damn good name

 

vinculum....

Line ?I was taught to use a dot or a. Pair of dots for repeating sequences

 

I've never heard of dots, interesting.

my brain hurts...

 

So wait, if I have question about math this semester, I can just post them up here and get the answers?

I see an A.

 

5 Mins., impressive BAIC

 

did you ever add me on origins? bf4?

 

+1!!!

 

........... I dunno how do I check? haha I am not good at this

 

This thread reminds me of how people used to text me while they were taking a math exam in college, sending me a photo of the problem and asking me to solve it for them. Always happens when you get an A+ on all your math exams. I believe people need to study for their exams, or they are defeating the purpose of being in school in the first place.

 

except the OP isnt asking anyone to solve a problem on their test

 

I was addressing pigboat_2's comment. I should have quoted his post in my initial post.
