how so?

Sunde91 · 09-09-10, 10:23 PM

False.

B1GER1C828 · 09-09-10, 11:05 PM

no it doesnt...but .9 repeating does equal 1

Muddy · 09-09-10, 11:10 PM

pretty much.

Kaabee · 09-09-10, 11:12 PM

easier example is (1/9)x9=1
1/9=.111 Infinity so (1/9)x9=.999 infinity=1

RudyRuetigger · 09-09-10, 11:20 PM

nothing to discuss. .99repeating does = 1

B1GER1C828 · 09-10-10, 12:07 AM

I assume that PC meant .9 repeating equals one, which by definition it does.

As two numbers are the equal if no real number exists between them, and since there are no real numbers between point nine repeating and one, they are equal.

You're using math to conclude two distinct numbers are one and the same, following rules as defined my man when man has no exact and final definition for one of the numbers involved. Can you prove using math that the two numbers are equal? Sure. But if you believe the two numbers are truly and utterly identical, then please tell me how you calculate the area of a circle?

Do you, for the sake of convenience, use 3.141593 for Pi? Or do you use 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419 716939937510582097
