It is possible that we disagree perhaps, you follow the King James Version, I was following the original Bible Text.
Shouldn't it be 1 Kings 22:7?
The original Bilble Text is Hebrew, can you read it?

Which makes it interesing cuz, if you divide the verse by the chapter you get, 22/7.
It's proof of the Bible Code
(even though I believe in the Bible, I think this Bible code stuff is nonsense)

Going back on topic....

Does anyone know pi in decimal form to the fourteenth decimal? I would like to compare my approximation of 3.14159265358979 to the actual number.

3. ## That turned out to not be such a quick question.

Thanx

After some manipulation, slightly.

Archimedes is rather modern in that he does not give a single estimate
but an interval estimate of $\pi$. As I said before his method
is to trap the area of a circle between a sequence of circumscribed and
inscribed regular polygons, which produces upper and lower limits for
the value of $\pi$.

Archimedes uses polygons of 96 sides and finds:

$223/71<\pi<22/7$.

6. Hacker, you agree $\sqrt{-25}=5i$

but you say you cannot solve for negative square roots. How would you solve? (preferably showing all the work)

I think this post looks lost, should it not be in a different thread?

It's funny, I blanked out and thought this was my "imaginary numbers " thread
just one of those moments...
