If .999 repeating = 1 then.......

[LegosInMyEgos]

1 - .999...... = 000.... which also would = 0

therefore .000... = 0

-------------------

Since there are infinite possibilities of reality, the possibility of this reality taking place is........

1/∞ which = .000.... which also = 0

Therefore the possibility of anything happening ever is 0.

In conclusion, if .999... = 1 then .000.... = 0 and reality is impossible. come at me.

Point is moot because OP always = *******.

Have you caught MBD (Martin Berkham Disease)?

Hmmmm.... OP did you skip breakfast today? Please respond.

[LegosInMyEgos]

i dont feel the need to address any of you, as my math has provided evidence that you do not exist.

Why you posting second hand misc threads up in here anyway?

I am leader of both threads *******.

I need not address you since you do not exist.

I need not address you since you do not exist.

But you did, so I must.

does thinking require a thinker?

I will leave on that note.

I've got .99 problems and the OP ain't 1.

If you buy a lot of gas, those fractions of a cent add up. Do you demand the difference back?

I think 1/∞ = 1/0 = undefined. Which is more probable.

No. I buy 6 or 16 gallons at a time and save myself $0.004 off the posted price.

.9999 does not equal 1 but it is as close as you can get without actually arriving there so we round up.

If there are infinite possibilities of reality then the possibility of this reality taking place is 100% since all possible realities take place. The possibility of you being in this reality is quite high since you are in it. If all realities occur then the possibility of anything ever happening is 100% since there are infinite possible realities meaning anything that is possible would occur.

You think any gas station owners/employees ever do a little salami slicing and divert the rounded off portion to an offshore account?

[DarthInvadeHer]

Lmao at this whole thread.

[SwiftyX]

.999 doesnt equal 1. You've just rounded. .999 equals .999. Words have meanings and equals is a word.

[LegosInMyEgos]

apparently nutrition misc should stick with nutrition.

.999... = 1

Its an accepted mathematical fact and there valid proofs for it.

saying that .999... < 1 is the equivalent of saying the .333... is less than = 1/3

if there are no numbers that are smaller than 1 yet larger than .999..., they are by definition the same number.

He's right. Plus, .999... =/= .999. The ellipsis is key.

Here's one way to prove it:

So, the number 0.999 can be written as the sum of 9/(10^1) + 9/(10^2) + 9/(10^3). If we wanted add a 4th 9 at the end, then we would add 9/(10^4). So, if we want n number of 9s, then we'd have a series such that all the terms of 9/(10^k) are added together, where k = 1 to n.

If we try to computer 0.999..., we must note that there is an infinite number of 9s. So we'd have the following series: sum of all terms 9/(10^k) where n = 1 to infinity. 9/(10^k) can be rewritten as [10^k/10^k - 1/(10^k)]. Obviously, 10^k/10^k is = 1, so we get [1 - 1/(10^k)]. Because this infinite series converges, we can write it as a limit.

1 - [limit (k --> infinity) 1/10^k] = 1

Yes, they also take the ****y cash register into a field and beat it with a baseball bat.

1 - [limit (k --> infinity) 1/10^k] = 1

So basically what you are saying is: to infinity and beyond!

[SoulZeppelin]

Can't believe I'm writing a srs response to this. You got me LIME, you fukkin got me.

The reals under addition form an abelian group. You're implicitly assuming this. Thus, the associative property holds and the additive identity is unique.

The claim that there exists some a!=1 such that 1+(-a)=0 does implies that -a is the additive inverse of 1 so now we have that 1+(-a)=0 and 1+(-1)=0, as you suggest. One of the following must now be true:
1) there is another identity 0'!=0
2) a=1


As 1 cannot be true (because the reals under addition are abelian) the assumption that a is not 1 must be false. QED bishes.

As to the argument that .999...=1 I refer you to the density of reals. Certainly as the precision increases the differences converge to 0, but convergence is not equality.

Edit: ugh. /nerdmode

1 - .999...... = 000.... which also would = 0

1-.999 isn't 0... it's .0001, which =/= 0

You can't just round things like that and make it a mathematical proof.

For instance, if you took 1,000,000 x .999, you get 999,000...

If you take 1,000,000 x 1, that's obviously not 999,000.. so .999 can't be the same as 1.

You need a math lesson, son.

There an in infinite amount of numbers smaller than 1 and larger than .999. I'll name five of them for you:

.9999
.99999
.999999
.9999999
.99999999

But you're just trolling, so continue.
