On District 2, #19:
19. Which of the following is NOT a transcendental number?
(A) 1.6180339887... (B) 2.7182818285... (C) .3245324532...
(D) 3.1415926536... (E) 0.6180339887...
The correct answer is (C), since that value is the solution to 9999x - 3245 = 0.
Aren't the golden ratio [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula] (A) and its inverse [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula] (E) both NOT transcendental as well?
My equations were:
([unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]) [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula] for the positive square root, and
([unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]) [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula] for the positive square root
