I must be mad. or something.
please...
he is a PROFESSOR, fyi.
my guts are really huge. gosh.
okay. so this is the question that i challenged him
Is 4^(1/3) a rational number?
Professor: Yes, because the number goes on and on.
Me: No it doesn't. Look!
Professor: That is the saved number in the calculator.
Me: *frustrated* it's not!!! i manually input all the numbers in.
Friend X: Perhaps the rounding off number gives you a nice number...
Maybe the value does not stop there?
I was a bit doubtful about it. And i need to see it to believe it. Thus, i decided to find a calculator with more than 9 decimal placing to do that.
Voila, Friend X was right!!! :( :(
it was 1.5874010519.........
ohh wells.
Verdict: Professor is right. (PS. Professor is never wrong...)
and i conclude that i officially think too much
*facepalm*
