You guys crack me up with your "implied bracket" shit LOL its either in the equation to being with or not. You cant just add them when you feel like it LOL
PEMDAS bitches. Parenthesis first, always. It's 2.
Ha so many fails in this thread but that one took the cake.
but the question is.....does 1=.999999?

I suggest you take higher lvl math or engineering classes and decide if that's the case.
It's more related to understanding with what something is.
I have professor that to save space does that a lot.
On a very low lvl from my previous example which i took from the TI reasoning page for the ti85 for 1/2x a normal person would read that as 1/(2x)... however without those its becomes .5x which is quite different.
The pictures of that as an example from notes that a professor of mine does are posted earlier in this thread if you want them I'll actually screen shot my notebook and post a page all direct copies from what he did. It's done to save space for long equations when there isn't room to use to lines for every single division in the result of the derivation.
I'm not even sure how that saves space. Why not write it as x/2 instead of (1/2)*x?It's more related to understanding with what something is.

umm ... no, that is wrong.
1/2x = x/2 = .5x
1/(2x) is totally different.
fucking cant believe how fail people are in this thread, holy shit this is amazing on such a nerd forum such as ATOT.
No that's not wrong that example is straight from TI reasoning, so you think they are wrong?
Hate to tell you this but no they are not. Its how it is written by hand if you write that by hand you would never treat that is .5x as that would most likely not be as intended
So that would then make you wrong.
Should have broken the poll down by degrees.

It was.No, what was implied by your post, very clearly, was that multiplication is before division.
Reading this thread just makes me realize that the lot of you are dumber than my penis, and believe me you, my penis has made some pretty dumb decisions.
THE ULTIMATE CALCULATOR PIC.
I believe I have a TI-83 Plus and a TI-86 somewhere also. I like how I have two TI-89s. This is ridiculous.
Someone's invoking TI who can't make up their minds between -1²=-1 (correct) and -1²=1 (incorrect)??
