If 0.999...=1 then does 1.888...=2?

[15357]

Why?







anyways, this is not a suitable way duduce to the answer.

Uh.... can you actually devide at all?

Damn, I have a Ph.D. of maths! (will, I mean)

liez

3.555.. = 3.6
3.666... = 3.7

EDIT: actually thats not true either, I think

The fate is 0.5555. end with 5, not the number 9 which carry one decimal place to two decimal places.(3.5555...555 is not 3.555...559) Yours is an entirely different case. If you fail to apprehend this simple statement, please bang your head against the wall.

I actually know that but I'm an asshole and started spamming random shit.

Okay, you banged your head too much. See a doctor before you say any more things stupider .

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

apprehend it?

Stop that statement! It's getting away!

 

[DreadLord]

Where the hell is Ikerous?

 

[bbson john]

apprehend it?

Stop that statement! It's getting away!

I guess you don't know apprehend can be used as comprehend. I am not joking, check out the dictionary instead. I am correct. Since you are a so-called super moderator, I must show respect to you, rather than taunt you with ignorance.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Some people just don't appreciate good humour.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Well I laughed.
(at the commie joke too, harhar)

 

[The Monkey]

0,999...=1

Get over it.

 

[Mr Stabby]

Well I laughed.
(at the commie joke too, harhar)

I also laughed

He's a tad on the 'tard side.

No ffs, I'm tired as poo anyway, you know when you get tired and do random shit. Now my ceretonin levels increased randomly lolz

Can I just comment on how much this thread title would make any mathematician cringe? Seriously, what the hell? :|

 

[bbson john]

I don't appreciate you make fun of me. I laughed, though.

I cringed.

I mean, my God. IT IS NOT A DIFFICULT CONCEPT.

 

[Mr Stabby]

the biggest irony is that solaris was probably trying to appear smart with his 'discovery'

 

[bbson john]

I cringed.

I mean, my God. IT IS NOT A DIFFICULT CONCEPT.

Indeed, it is not. The answer is palpable all the time. Just people's minds are too trivial and superficial. They don't have a concept of infinite series.

the biggest irony is that solaris was probably trying to appear smart with his 'discovery'

Surely he does. After reading the second reply, he must be finding a hole for him to hide in, or taking an oxygen cylinder then dive underneath water, so no one can see him.

 

[15357]

Yeah its not difficult, its just that people can't get the concept.




Which makes it difficult......

0.999... = x
10x = 9.999...

10x-x = 9x
9.999...-0.999... = 9

9x = 9
x = 1

The problem with what you're doing is that 9.999... - 0.999... doesn't equal 9. It equals 8.999... Because when you multiply by 10 you are moving the decimal over. You now have infinity minus one numbers following the decimal place

 

[Mr Stabby]

the doubting 0.999... = 1 isn't the cringe worthy part

making a topic thinking .999... x 2 = 1.888... is.

 

[DreadLord]

That's what I meant, yeah. :cheers:

Hilarious. He cannot do maths. You know what, I perpared him a bunch of quotation http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Stupidity

Oh, shut up. We all make mistakes.

you realise you just used solaris. and smart in the same sentence?

 

[DreadLord]

Hilarious. He cannot do maths. You know what, I perpared him a bunch of quotation http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Stupidity

Well that's just pushing it. Solaris isn't known for being stupid, he just made a comical mistake. You however don't seem to grasp the English language well at all.

 

[bbson john]

Oh, shut up. We all make mistakes.

And we all are being laughed once, so do him, no exemption. Let's laugh!

You however don't seem to grasp the English language well at all.

Seriously, you mean...?

 

[Mr Stabby]

laughing at someone for a mathematical error is the pinnacle of nerdiness

Damn, you laughed at him first. I followed. Why all of you guys are pointing at me?

Tell me plz.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

But I think it's not correct just to say
0.999... = 1
because it isn't 1, even if you go on writing nines forever.
As far as I know you have to write
lim 0.999... = 1
which is correct.

(But I'm not sure if what I wrote is correct. )

Generally speaking, in maths 0.999 is not equal to one. But if you have a limit on the amount of decimal places you can have (say two decimal places), then it would go to the nearest round number.

Example:

0.456 -> 0.46 (2 d p)


0.454 -> 0.45 (2 d p)

However in everyday life (measurements, currency), there is a limit as to how far decimal numbers can go. Cash, for instance can only as far as two decimal places (Not counting stock markets or credit card transactions).

 

[15357]

Shit happens.

 

[Ennui]

It was an amusing error, but some of this is borderline mean flaming, which isn't called for and won't be tolerated so we can chuckle but how about we keep the 'solaris is an idiot' stuff off the boards?

ahhh. We mean 0.999... with infinite 9.

Sorry. I don't mean it.
