.999 repeating equals 1
Sort:
0.99 repeating does not equal 1; this is common sense. No matter how many 9s you put into the space after the decimal, there is still a fraction until you reach 1 (ex: 0.99999 is 0.00001 away from 1, 0.99 is 0.01 way from 1). I shouldn't be needing to say this, especially to a person that has a rating of 1500 on here.

So the wind blew my way, with her sarcasm AGAINST your stance.
Her reasoning that points to my stance on the issue remaibs true. Despite the way anyone FEEELLS or VOTES about it, D*mocrat.
I'm not a Democrat. But now that you have outed yourself by saying that, I will say I am in no way surprised to find a correlation between your knowledge of math, your willingness to pontificate ignorance, and your political prejudices.
Her results for that video are thousands of suckers re-posting her video because they don't get it, like you...and the ridicule that comes for all those people later when somebody has to turn on the light bulb for them and tell them they have made fools of themselves.

A good proof of why "common sense"...isn't.
Google around until you figure out you are wrong, your argument has already been refuted several times in this thread.

No ignorance Sir. You are the one who "pontificates" aggressive stupidity. Knowing far better than what you spew. And my Mathematical outlook appears to be far wider a breadth than the one you display.
Read reply #75 by bleepy. He is correct too.
And I called you a Democrat because without cow towing to the majority you become furious.
You say you are not a Democrat, but you call me a backwoods "Conservative."
You are an emotionally hot Democrat, Sir.

Refute it by yourself, as I've been doing.
"Google around" is very lame. You cannot provide a disproof to mine or "bleepy's" solid as a rock, common sense testimonies.

Where did I call you a "backwoods Conservative"? Pretty sure that did not happen 
. Check your meds. I repeat, I am not a Democrat.

If you cannot relay back what you have learned in the College, what good would it be for me to go??

You seem to have a pretty short memory.

You can be an emotional like "Intellectual" Democrat without actually voting for anybody in the elections.

I thought I would corner the market on this favored internet topic among certain quarters, so I can dispense with the ignorance long term. Think of this thread as a new gilded cage if you like, and the OP holds the key to the cage.

We have a taker after all. Here's the simplest proof...and though some mathematicians don't like this proof, they will still tell you that the two values are equal.
1/3 = .333 repeating
2/3 = .666 repeating
3/3 = .999 repeating = 1
You call that a PROOF, Dude?

Yes. Simple proofs are still proofs, and that is the simplest one for most people to grasp. It works, and it's valid.

Non-sequitur. You seem to have some scattered thinking in general. Your Ideas Room membership is not a good sign on this front...

An infinity number of 9's written without a decimal point, say n 9's will never be 10^n, always just (10^n)-1
Case closed!
You are mistaken. You cannot write an infinite number of nines to begin with, but that aside, writing this:
.999...
does not actually represent an ongoing process of writing an infinite number of nines.
The case *is* closed. .999 repeating equals 1. The *number* "0.999..." does not represent a process. It represents a number, and that number is 1. You can write "1" as 1, or you can write "1" as ".999...". Two different representations of the same number.
Saying that ".999..." doesn't equal 1 is like saying that 3/2 doesn't equal 1.5 because the 3 hasn't been divided into 2 yet ...
Look at it this way:
1 - (any nonexistent number) = 1
There is no real number between .999 repeating and 1.

It has no last number.
The best proof I can think of to compliment your MATH "leanings" .9 to n=infinity in other words .99999 for infinity is 1-10^-infinity. This means it is infinitesimally close between.
However, 1/infinity is bigger than 0.
There are different sizes of infinity but not of 0.
Alepha-0 the size of rationals, Alpha-1 the size of reals. 1/(1/Alepha-0), 1/(1/Aleph-1)
And the largest 1/(1/0), which equals 0.
0.99999 is never 0 distance apart from 1. Therefore it ain't the same number.

Nope.
"1/3 = .333 repeating
2/3 = .666 repeating
3/3 = .999 repeating = 1"
Is just your opinion without any proof.
Did they teach you how to think in College, or just agree with the Professors?

I'm not 14, so that kind of insult doesn't really work. It does put a timestamp on your maturity level, though.
