Is 1 = 0.9999......

Well, welcome to the flame fest. I sense that some folks are getting uncomfortable with this, but they can always go elsewhere. MadRat, RossGR was being reasonable, and he is at least trying to show us why he thinks he is right. Since he is one of maybe two here doing this, cut him slack and...

Is 1 = 0.9999......

As to the .9+.1=1 .99+.01=1 .999+.001=1 and so on towards infinity example, Blaise Pascal said this: lemma is a preliminary proposition or thereom accepted for immediate use in a demonstration of some other proposition. So according to Pascal, this type of proof does work.

RossGR, No harm, no foul. And personally I am GLAD there is no equation editor because then my mathematical ignorance would be bare to the world :) Above quote was by Georg Cantor. Probably out of context, but I'll still use it. And I am comforted by the fact that if I am wrong, I am wrong in...

Not insulted personally. Just don't want to see this degenerate into flames. And you making assumptions about how much time I do wonder about this question doesn't weaken my credibility (or self-esteem) in the least. The fact that you seem to be falling back on using such tactics (as the above...

RossGR, To say infinity is well defined is not part of my "box". I have been quite reasonable during this discussion. Have even given you credit for a good representation of what you are trying to say. In return I get veiled insults and a condescending attitude? This is what has brought...

That is a very good question! I am sensing that the fact that the nines go on and on somehow allows people here to feel they have a grasp on it. But, is it a number? Numbers represent values. If you cannot define the value of a number, is it still a number? Just because it is made up of...

Is 1 = 0.9999......

Previous post was all in good fun. That is a pretty good way of looking at it (1.999... post above this one) But I still don't see how you can apply rule of forever to one number and not the other. Well, I will just agree to disagree with you on this and call it a night (which it is where I am).

Is 1 = 0.9999......

Pondering further, we are dancing around the main question: Can we add one to infinity? By the nature of my previous arguments, I say that we can. In order for you to prove otherwise, you would need an infinite amount of time. Using your concept of infinite is close enough, that means you...

RossGR, I will concede that my EXPRESSION of the concept .000...1 is technically incorrect, however, I am asking you to overlook the expression (in our finite system) and look more to the concept itself. If one number can go on forever, so can the other. It is so simple. The nines are...

You add a nine, I add a zero. Back and forth. On and on. FOREVER. My equation will ALWAYS be true. .999... does not equal 1.

RossGr, Caught that after I posted, thus the edit. No, I did not neglect that. I was pointing out that for each nine we add a zero. See edited post above for continuance of this debate. When this thread reaches an infinite number of posts, will someone still be able to bump it?

I think MadRat understands what I am trying to say. Credit to the guy (or gal) back on page one or two who did this. .9+.1=1 .99+.01=1 .999+.001=1 JosphII said At EXACTLY what point does .000...1 become a less viable number than .999... If you cannot define that point, then my equation is...

Just how advanced was the space shuttle?

I know it would be able to lift a lot more if they had built the cargo variant, which would be fully automated without crew. Some might say it could not land then, but NASA has remote-operator landed commercial size jets in tests years ago.

.999...9 does not equal 1. For .999...9 + .000...1 = 1 let us agree that you can add as many 9s as you want to .999...9, and that for every 9 you add, I will add a 0 to .000...1 (somewhere between the decimal and 1) Then, this equation is ALWAYS true. Since this equation is ALWAYS true, 1...

Looking for the site that translates VIN to tell what type engine is in car. That will determine whether sh!tty Ford V6 or 302 V8. (Former T-Bird owner.) So after you got on the freeway, then notice the smoke (or steam), then stop. What was the weather like? Hot? How did you know you needed...
