To turn 
into a fraction you should do such steps:
1 step. Set up an equation by representing the repeating decimal with a variable. Using your example, you will let x represent the repeating decimal 0.(6), so you have x=0.666... .
2 step. Identify how many digits are in the repeating pattern, or n digits. Multiply both sides of the equation from Step 1 by 
to create a new equation. Again, using your example, you see that the repeating pattern consists of just one digit: 6. Now multiply both sides of the equation by 
. Thus, you have 
or 
.
3 step. Subtract the equation in Step 1 from the equation in Step 2. Notice that when we subtract these equations, our repeating pattern drops off. Therefore, 
.
4 step. You now have an equation that you can solve for x and simplify as much as possible, using x as a fraction: 
. If you divide both sides by 9, you get 
. When simplified, you get that 
.
Answer: 
.
The rules are
Let me show you why with a couple of examples: suppose we want to multiply
Since powers are just repeated multiplications, we have
Similarly, we have

Answer:
The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) =3x^2-6x-18
Factor out the greatest common factor out of the first two terms
f(x) =3(x^2-2x)-18
Complete the square
-2x/2 =-1 (-1)^2 = 1
Add 1 (But remember the 3 out front so we are really adding 3 so we need to subtract 3 to remain balanced)
f(x) = 3(x^2 -2x+1) -3 -18
f(x) = 3(x-1)^2 -21
This is vertex form
f(x) = a(x-h)^2 +k where (h,k) is the vertex and a is a constant
The vertex is (1,-21)
Since a > 0 this opens upward and the vertex is a minimum
The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1
