1 equals .999 repeating

If you were dividing by half, the egg would be going AWAY from the floor.

 

Score one for the English teacher!

 

Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

Consider the audience

 

I think the mathematician's point is that math is actually an approximation of reality.

 

1=0.9999999... is a common troll in 4chan.

 

0.00000000000000000000000000000000000 2nd round appearances.

 

that doesnt work with all the numbers:

1/4 = 0.25
4* 1/4 = 4*0.25
1 = 1

1/2 = 0.5
2* 1/4 = 2*.5
1= 1

 

who said it has to?! silly rabbit

it only has to work for one number. The proof is 1 = .999...

The proof isn't

1/x * x = .999... for all x

 

Not understanding 1=0.999... is mostly about not understanding what 0.999... is.

 

Lel, first word problems. :grin:

So that old song 1 is the loneliest number isn't exactly the truth now is it?

 

That is just a bunch of non-sense. Sure, absolute 1 or 0 does not exist in an analog scale. However 1 does exist in discrete terms. If you have 1 apple in you hand, you have exactly 1 apple in your hand (not 0.99999999999 apples).

 

so does this mean i only have .9999999999999999 testicle? i dont even have 1 testicle?

 

But, absolute 1 and 0 do exist in an "analog scale."

Mathmeticians doen't dispute the existence of 1. That was a mistaken comment by the OP. They are simply saying that .999... = 1.

 

lance armstrong?!?!?!? is that you?
