\[\frac pq=\frac{1}{q/p}\]
i was wondering how they got it for like sqrt(2)

\[\sqrt{2}=1+(\sqrt{2}-1)=1+\cfrac{1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}-1}}\]
\[1+\cfrac{1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}-1}*\frac{\sqrt{2}+1}{\sqrt{2}+1}}=1+\cfrac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{2}+1}{2-1}}\]
a little of both
OpenStudy (amistre64):
i like how the bump timer fakes you out; it shows the button but says you cant when you hit it lol
mathslover (mathslover):
lol that happens with me sometimes
OpenStudy (amistre64):

OpenStudy (amistre64):
not that these things are unique, but i still have to wonder
