I'm tired of being distracted by untermensch calling me ugly and whatnot at school. I need to pass, I can't deal with these asshole trying to talk to me in class. I wonder if I should talk to the office about this.

"Psychobabble" is a vapid characterization.
Our fractal fluency begins with the movement of our eyes. When we look at a fractal, our eyes trace a fractal trajectory with a dimension of around 1.4 —no matter what the fractal’s dimension is. Nature’s most prevalent fractals share this dimension, falling within a range of 1.3 to 1.5. “If we lived on a planet where 1.8 was prevalent, we would have ended up with an eye trajectory of 1.8,” Taylor says. “Clearly what’s happened is our visual system has evolved.”
And we feel good when we do what we’ve evolved to do. In another set of studies, Taylor used skin conductance and EEG measurements to measure test subject’s reactions to viewing the mid-dimension fractals found most often in nature. He and his colleagues found the images reduced the mind and body’s physiological stress by as much as 60 percent, “an enormous amount for a non-pharmacological approach.”

In this view, it was quite natural for Pollock’s drip paintings to become more and more fractal as he grew older. They may simply have been mirroring the increasingly fractal nature of his own self. As he said himself, “Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.”
Calculus agrees with me, but I'm in a beginning trigonometry class now and totally stumped by the unit circle and determining reference points for nonstandard numbers.
For nice even denominators or anything that is easily converted to an existing reference point I get it. It's just a matter of making the established guide match t. But something such as -9pi/7 is really stumping me, and I've watched probably a dozen YouTube videos that couldn't assist.
Am I stupid? How stupid am I? I've been contemplating this for hours.
Thanks for the explanation. That is all the information I get, find reference number of t. I feel like there's just gotta be a way to determine reference number without a calculator though, using the basic unit circle. This isn't the only question of that nature in my homework or I would just chalk it up to an irrelevant challenge for my level.
Good that's one of the answers I came up with. I think I was over analyzing at first, getting stuck on a weird decreasing radial idea. But now I'm trying to determine the terminal point. There's no direct 2pi/7 in the reference quadrant so I can't just change signs around. Question didn't ask for it but I'll probably get asked eventually.
It's nice to see some math discussion here for once. Granted it's me, a mediocre student, and a professor, but it's better than nobody.
