i managed a bachelors in math without it i guess
these proofs were showed to me in mth491 in college, so im pretty sure its acceptable
its also in a college textbook i have in the garage somewhere

 

Basically.... I should just round everything up Good to know....
What is pi to the 300,000,000 decimal again? :thinking: I can never recall it for some reason...

 

the wiki page proves that the limit of .9repeating = 1.

but the fact that one number can equal another number is ludicrous. :loco:

 

Not in math...

Because 1/1 is equal to 9/9.... 10/10, 20/20.

hfawk:

Dog=Cow... :yumyum:

Nice Ninja edit Janifer... you spelled it fack the first time :squint:

 

fractions dont count.... i said 1 number, not 1 on top of another. :squint:

and fack you.

 

the notation for a repeating decimal IS a limit

if i said i had .3333... repeating would you be ok calling that 1/3?

 

I was just being a dick really h:

BTW
Another Ninja edit... hfawk:

 

There wouldn't be a written fraction for it considering it goes on forever h: Imagine all the erasing you would have to do :eek3:

 

any repeating decimal can be written in fraction form
thus .999... in fraction form is 9/9 or 1
there is a simple way to produce the fraction form of a repeating decimal, it isnt really hard at all, but it confuses the shit out of people at first

i cant beleive im arguing about math on the interent, i think i just raised to a new level of nerdom

 

1/3 cannot be written as an exact decimal.... .33333repeating is an Approximation.

proofs lose validity when you approximate.

limit of .9999 = 1, but .9999 != 1
