infinity doesn't have an end, thus it's not accurate.

1/3 is accurate.

4/9 = exact value, the decimal with a recurring value isnt.

I never said infinity has an end 0.3 with a dot on top is the exact decimal representation of 1/3.There are ways to prove that 1/3 equals exactly 0.3 recurring represented as a dot on the top.If x=0.999999 recurring then 10x=9.99999 recurring 9x=9 x=1 if 0.99999 recurring=1 then 0.3333333 recurring=1/3.Wikipedia doesn't agree with you.

It means that we can relax a bit until February half term/Easter-relaxing at AS is very hard work at GCSE though :colondollar:

The most fascinating thing I have read today: a covalent bond is actually an ionic bond and vice versa (at extremes)... :biggrin:

But then, when it comes to may and June time, all of the exams will be piled up in a smaller time frame which equals more stress :s-smilie:

Are you going to sixth form or college?

Sixth form, my school has a pretty bad sixth form but I'm determined that it's not really the fault of the establishment. For the subjects I'm taking, the school is decent.

Also I just watched 'The Wolverine' last night, was a bit mediocre, I really hate Wolverine but the little preview for 'Days of Future Past' was awesome

Its going to be hard to remember everything, personally I think its better with two series of exams.

1/3 is 100% accurate and 0.3 with a dot above is 100% accurate-they both are exactly the same thing but 1/3 is the fraction representation of the number and 0.3 with a dot above is the decimal way of representing the number.It could ask in an exam what is the exact value of 1/3 in decimal form and the answer would be 0.3 with a dot on the top.1/3 is a lot neater so I use that generally instead of 0.3 with a dot on the top but I won't allow incorrect maths.

I don't think I get the same teacher for Further Maths though because I'm getting a minibus to another Sixth Form because not many people applied for Further Maths so my sixth form because its in partnership with 2 other Sixth Forms has agreed to send me off to another Sixth Form with whoever applied at my Sixth Form for Further Maths.Technically, you could say I'm going to attend 2 sixth forms.This could be a good thing though because I'm assuming the teacher at that Sixth Form is probably the most qualified.

Most definitely!! Do others not agree that it's the best subject ever?! :yep:

No Further Maths is the best subject ever much better than Maths-Maths doesn't go far enough.Techno836-I need you to add me to AQA Geography.
