yeah dog thanks for the back up. peace

not only is .999999 = 1 a false statement but there are infinitely many real numbers between them.

He said that .9999....=1 which is a true statement. The "..." signifies that the number is repeated infinitely.

Let n=.9999...

10xn=9.9999...

Now subtract n from both sides of the equation. 10n-n=9.9999...-.9999...

9n=9 so n=1

Grats limits!

Felyn is my second favorite bard.

.9999...+.9999...=Felyn

Let n=.9999...

10xn=9.9999...

Now subtract n from both sides of the equation. 10n-n=9.9999...-.9999...

9n=9 so n=1

Grats limits!

no im sorry that doesnt work like that

if you have 10xn=9.9999...

and you subtract .9999... from both sides, that leaves you with

9.000....01n=9

which is .000...01=n


basically you cant prove that .999...=1 without assuming it during the proof, which holds no credibility and you are wrong

[Lacey_Lightfoot]

no you dont get it dude


if 2 numbers are different, they arent the same

 

[Lacey_Lightfoot]

you cant subtract .9999... from 10 and get 9 to prove that .9999...=1 that doesnt make sense

i can say 2+4= 7, subtract 2 from both sides and you get 4=5 but thats fuckin wrong

[Spiritplx]

Yeah, good thing they are the same number then, huh?

 

[Lacey_Lightfoot]

look, this is a picture of me at college, clearly i know what im talking about

 

[Lacey_Lightfoot]

Yeah, good thing they are the same number then, huh?

how are they the same number?!?! you cant prove that!!!

 

[Spiritplx]

That looks like the best idea I have ever come up with. So sparkly

thats the bullets of death that my helicopter of truth is riddling your dirty math lies with, do not be confused

I never subtracted .9999... from 10. I subtracted .9999... from 10x.9999...

I thought it was a flying penis.

if you plot 2 lines on a graph, one that intersects y as a line at the .9999... coord and one that intersects y at the 1 coord, where would they become the same line?

At infinitely many points.

I just called up Dr. Seuss and he has confirmed my proof.

 

[Lacey_Lightfoot]

it just doesnt work, the way that we think about infinite numbers makes it appear to work, but .9999... is never going to equal 1, it really wants to equal 1 but you just cant prove that it does because you dont have the ability to work with infinite decimal places
