There seems to be some debate over whether .999...=1 which it isn't. Discuss.

Modificato da Xûr Mixalot: 10/11/2015 6:00:47 PMWatch this! .99999999999999999999.... Is separated from the number 1.00000000000000.... By an infinitely small numerical value. BAM!
-
It does and doesn't equal 1. The difference between .9999... and 1 is 0. Since you can never have infinite zeros and a 1 at the end. But, .99999... =/= 1 The answer is yes and no.

2 RisposteI can't wrap my mind around how they are. Even though they're completely indistinguishable from each other, I feel like they're technically the not the same number. But then you get to the facts that: 1/9=0.11111..... 5/9=0.555555.... So 9/9=0.99999....? And X=0.9999... 10X=9.99999 10X-X=9.99999-0.99999 9X=9 X=1

If you're rounding .999 then yes it would equal 1, but if not, it'll stay at .999.

Depends what you are doing. Paying cash? Yes it's 1. Computer programming? NO! It's .999 for a reason!

It will never equal 1.

1 RispondiI just want to point out that if you're taking a test and the answer is .999... And you put 1. You're wrong. [spoiler]kek[/spoiler]

Modificato da Aulakauss: 7/17/2015 6:56:18 AMI was apparently wrong on my assumption that this was too small a difference to quibble over and am now being told off for it. Horribly. Abysmally. Wrong. Why is this a thing. Fer srsly. Dafuq is wrong with people? Everyone sending me mathematical formulas to 'prove' it's 1: I don't care. I don't care[i] so hard[/i] that your mothers might explode.

15 RisposteModificato da Aulakauss: 7/2/2015 11:07:38 PMLiterally? No. 0.999 is 0.001 less than one. This is obvious. Effectively? If you list something as $29.99, people will mostly say it costs $30 for simplicity and because the tiny difference is too insignificant to really have an effect on anything. The same principle applies here. [b]EDIT:[/b] 0.999[RECURRING] is, for all practical purposes, 1.0. Again, refer to the monetary comparison. Literally, it's not one, but that's like getting into an argument over someone stating that a fuel price listed as $3.49 and 9/10 is $3.50 a gallon. It's too insignificant to warrant mention, let alone debate. The main question is: What specifically brought this up?

1 RispondiHow many significant numbers?

Well it's kind of like saying if 0.00…1=0. I mean technically if there's [i]infinite[/i] 0's then [i]technically[/i] it never get to the 1, but it still there? So what if you divided 1 by 0.00…1? Would it be undefined? Well actually even though the amount is infinitely small, we know it's positive, whereas 0 is neither negative of positive, so we know that 1/0.00…1 must be positive infinity, since the value 0.00…1 is infinitely small. But then we run into yet another problem, because if there are infinite 0's then that means nothing can come after it, or can it? See I don't know. I can even make even more confusion by comparing 0.00…1 to 0.00…82627 or whatever. Are those two values equal? They don't seem to be, and what about something even crazier like 0.00…99…9? If you think about it, since there are infinite 0's, does it even matter what you put after them? Will the value still be infinitely small? Suddenly everything that comes after infinite 0's seems to not matter at all. And of course in numbers, if some string of numbers has meaning at all, then it must have no value. Therefore by my personal reasoning 0.00…1=0. Therefore since reasonably 1–0.00…1=0.99…, and since I've concluded that 0.00…1=0, we can change the equation to 1–0=0.99, and since we know that 1–0=1, then we come up with 1–0=1=0.99… ∴ 0.99…=1 [spoiler]that's just what I came up with as I typed. Feel free to add any criticism or point out flaws in my logic[/spoiler]

It's not scientifically incorrect, and I mean even if you don't round, it's the same number

9 RisposteBefore I begin, please know that I [b]do understand[/b] that I am technically incorrect in my way of thinking. I do get that it is mathematically accepted that .99r equals 1 I can accept that .99r and 1 are thematically the same- similar to how "big" and "large" are thematically the same. BUT expressions that thematically mean the same thing are not the same thing [to me]. Though the number expressed by .99r and 1 is equal, the expression is not. 1. You have a lovely face 2. Yer mug is right pleasin' to th' eye 3. Gosh, you're pretty! 4. You were graced with uncommon beauty. 5. Ur hawt To me, these expressions are thematically the same but not equal. So I vote NAY.
