Dude, they aren't the same. Would you rather have .999 of something, or the whole damn thing? Fack.

Re: 0.9999... = 1?

0.9999999999 = 0.9999999999

1 = 1

That's a good way to admit you have no idea what you're saying.

A vote for "no" is a vote for communism. Remember that, commies.

Not too many math majors here I see.

Some of us know our maths! And we're about to stab people.

1/3 = .33333...
2/3 = .66666...

1/3 + 2/3 = .99999...

1/3 + 2/3 = 1

??

1/11 = .0909...
10/11 = .9090...

1/11 + 10/11 = .9999...

1/11 + 10/11 = 1

??

The reason people will say .9999999.. is not equal to 1 is because they have an inability to comprehend the concept of infinity, as things can be infinitely smaller or larger, ie. decimal places, or the universe. Denying that .99999... is equal to one is denying the existence of pieces of a whole, ie. fractions.

Brilliant copypaste from a math forum.

But, from wikipedia.

In mathematics, the recurring decimal 0.999… , which is also written as 0.\bar{9} , 0.\dot{9} or \ 0.(9), denotes a real number equal to 1. In other words, "0.999…" represents the same number as the symbol "1". The equality has long been accepted by professional mathematicians and taught in textbooks. Various proofs of this identity have been formulated with varying rigour, preferred development of the real numbers, background assumptions, historical context, and target audience.

Kinda funny that you criticize someone from taking something off of a math forum, and then you copy / paste from wikipedia

 

[proudfoot]

Re: 0.9999... = 1?

I cited it from wikipedia. Slight difference between citing something, and posting it as if it were your own work.

 

[r33n]

Re: 0.9999... = 1?

Ehh.. Not really.

Not on a site where anyone can edit the material.

 

[proudfoot]

Re: 0.9999... = 1?

Yes there is. By directly copypasting something, you present the work as your own. By citing something in quotes, you acknowledge that you did not do the work, and that the work came from this source.

I fail to see how everyone being able to edit it comes into play.

 

[r33n]

Re: 0.9999... = 1?

Because... You are citing that site.. But you have no idea who wrote it. It in a sense, is a forum in itself, which is what you criticized him for.

 

[proudfoot]

Re: 0.9999... = 1?

No - I criticized him for presenting work that was not his own as his own.

.9999999999999999999999999999 does not ; /
i hate this argument.
LOLZ U WANNA HEAR HOW SMART I AM LOOK AT THIS! 1=.999999

on another note, scott proctor, thank you for walking in the losing run. clown.

Show us this website he copy pasted from? Or are you just simply implying that he cannot possibly be that intelligent to come up with something like that on his own? I'm not saying he didn't copy/paste it, I'm just saying show some proof before you accuse someone of plagiarism.

Re: 0.9999... = 1?

0.9999... = 1

Thus x = 0.9999...
10x = 9.9999...
10x - x = 9.9999... - 0.9999...
9x = 9
x = 1.

If you write it on paper it opens a worm hole.

OK

Time for a math lesson

First,

If x = 0.9999 :

10x = 9.9990 ( Unless you assume its repeating, in which case it is 9.9999 )

In the case of 10x = 9.9990,
10x - x is substituted as 9.9990 - 0.9999 which equals 8.9991

In the case of 10x = 9.9999, ( as was stated )
10x - x is substituted as 9.9999 - 0.9999 which equals 9.0000

You set up an equation without justified variables here:
9x = 9

Need evidence for a balanced equation :/

Math 90 go

P.S. - The part about the wormhole I agree with NO ONE TRY TO DO THIS ON PAPER YOU WILL TEAR TIME AND GROW BOOBS ON YOUR EYES
