IYPT Question--Coin and Magnet
I don't really need an answer.
I just need someone to guide me or tell me what I need to study on.
Or if you have any ideas on this question, feel free to express them.
Place a coin vertically on a magnet. Incline the coin relative to the magnet and then...
Thanks for taking your time Hioj;
But even terminating decimals have an infinite decimal sequence:
Take 0.3, the infinite decimal sequence would be 0.2999...
These two are exactly equal (if you transform 0.2999... to a fraction, it would be 3/10)
So all rational numbers do have an infinite...
Thanks HallsofIvy...
I totally completely understand the whole terminating and repeating decimal concept.
The thing is I just wanted to know if there is any written mathematical form of proof for it. By the answers I've gotten so far it means it's just a matter of understand the question.
I...
Its all in the title: How can we prove every rational number has a never ending decimal view. Since I translated the question from another language, I didn't know how to put it.
I know it's true because:
1=0.9999...
and i.e.:
1/3=0.333...
or
24.67=24.669999...
The problem is...
