Also the converse is true: The decimal expansion of a rational number is either finite, or endlessly repeating. Finite decimal representations can also be seen as a special case of infinite repeating decimal representations. For example, 36 ⁄ 25 = 1.44 = 1.4400000...; the endlessly repeated sequence is the one-digit sequence "0".
In the base −2 representation, a signed number is represented using a number system with base −2. In conventional binary number systems, the base, or radix, is 2; thus the rightmost bit represents 2 0, the next bit represents 2 1, the next bit 2 2, and so on. However, a binary number system with base −2 is also possible.
Baldrige graduated from Omaha High School in 1912. He attended Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts , in 1914 and he graduated in 1918 from Yale University in New Haven , Connecticut where he was a member of Skull and Bones [ 3 ] and captain of the wrestling team.
