If its not problem for you to check these last two. I got no more of these.
If you have some kind a book with tasks like this on internet I would love to print it out so I can have some fun.

I'd appreciate it if you could type the problems and your answers up in $\LaTeX$, that would make your problems more readable for us.:) For these last two problems, I couldn't tell if the first problem mentions of $\left(\dfrac{2}{5}-\left( 6\dfrac{3}{7}\right)^{-1}\right):\left(\dfrac{1}{50}-10^{-2}\right)$, because if that is the case, then your answer isn't correct.

I know $LaTeX$ might be a foreign language for you, but it's really very easy to learn how to type a simple mathematical expression using $LaTeX$, for starter, if you want to type $\dfrac{2}{5}$, you need to latex code of \dfrac{2}{5}, enclosed with a pair of the dollar signs. If you want $10^2$, you just type 10^2, enclosed it with a pair of the dollar signs but if the exponent consists of more than two "characters", just as in $10^{-2}$, you need to put the pair of curly braces{} around the exponent.

Do you want to take a stab at it and re-post your last two questions here?

I have moved your new questions into a new thread. We ask that new questions be posted in a new thread as tagging new question onto an existing thread can make the thread become convoluted and hard to follow. :D

Done in word
I agree with your answers, $20/3$ and $-20/3$.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
