im the truth.

 

fuzzy logic.

 

???

 

The author is 100% correct. wrong
Did you check his algebra? yea, its wrong
This isn't something one guy made up. true
Ask your math teacher. did, she disproved it

 

he seems arrogant and narrow minded. he should teach at my university with the rest of them

 

What part of the guy's algebra is wrong? How did your teacher disprove this?

 

fuzzy math!

 

Fractions and decimals are not always equal.

That's the single biggest flaw in his whole explination.

Yes 1/3 = .33333 repeating. It equals that because 1/3 cannot be completely expressed in decimal form. You can't write 1/3 in decimal form and be 100% accurate. .33 repeating is not 1/3, it's as close as any number can get to being 1/3. But that doesn't mean it is 1/3.

Same with 2/3 and same with .9999 repeating. Yes it is the closest you can get to 1, but it is not 1.

Assumptions and rounding does not equal accurate. Therefore, .999 repeating does not equal 1.

 

i dont think i agree but i think he makes a good point :dunno: but i wont believe it until i see it in a math book h:

 

.9 repeating to infinity has infinity 9s.

multiplied by 10, theres one less 9 after the decimal point after shifting everything to the left.

0.999999.....................................9 x 10 =
9.999999.....................................0
