0.999... = 1

A Guy · Jul 04, 2011 10:27 PM

a=0.999...
b=1

10*a = 9.999...
9*b = 9
9*b + a = 9.999...

10*a = 9*b + a
9*a = 9*b
a = b

1/9 = .111...
*9 = .999... = 9/9 = 1

Simplification is cool...

Shouldn't this be in Spam?

This is pretty much what you are saying:

- If it smells like a banana, it's a banana.
- Ty smells like a banana.
- Ty is a banana.
- Bananas are fruits.
- Ty is a fruit.

No. That's not even close to what's going on. That's logic. This is maths. They aren't really comparable in this way. Linked by a thread of concept, but not actually the same.

Additionally, both your conclusions are logical.

If a mod hasn't moved it there already after a couple days, what do you think? Please guys, don't tell mods where to move things and what to do with threads. If anything, just report it, but don't post in the thread that it's in the wrong place or it should be locked.

You brought this upon yourself you know:

Besides. .999 does = 1, and Wikipedia says it. It is true...

remove the NNyamo word filter and i'll agree with you.

Stormy · Jul 07, 2011 4:31 PM

It doesn't matter if you agree with me or not; it's just a simple expectation that everyone follow the forum rules and etiquette. And I will remove it... eventually. wink

I don't think this deserves removing. It was actually quite educating. Just because people see symbols in stead of letters and don't understand it doesn't mean it's spam.

We were talking about the filter I added as a joke on a certain word that is overused in the spam forum, not the thread. I also found the thread interesting and see no reason to move it or get rid of it.
