This is how .999... = 1

x = .999_
10x = 9.999_
10x - x = (9.999_ - .999_)
9x = 9
x = 1

.999_ = 1

To further prove this, look at 3/3. .333_ = 1/3, and 3/3 = 1. Therefore, .999 = 1.


Now, it can be argued that 1=2.

0 x 1 = 0
0 x 2 = 0

So than this must be true:
0 x 1 = 0 x 2

Similarly:
0/0 x 1 = 0/0 x 2

Simplified,
1 = 2


This has been an AstralAdvent lesson

you sound like a 10th 7th grader who just had his first pre-Calculus pre-Algebra class.

i hope youre not really this stupid.

when you were a freshmen in the intro to engineering seminar and they said "look to person on your right and on your left. chances are at least one of those people will not finish engineering school" the guy next to you had an had an aisle seat didn't he?

1 is the loneliest number that you'll ever do.

10/11/2009 1:03:00 AM

1.999... can be as bad as 0.999....





It's the loneliest number since the number 0.999....

hate to tell you this, but .99999 doesn't equal 1

10/11/2009 5:03:14 PM

division by zero is some bullshit made up by osama bin ladens indian great grandpa and i dont support the theory because it is terrorism

so long as x != 0 he's right, depending on the conventions you adopt

"so .99999=1 then 1=2?"

where does the logical implication come from?

you mean

so 0.9_ = 1 then 1.9_ = 2

10/11/2009 5:07:49 PM

i also dont listen to 0EPII1s math for the same reason. terrorism.

10/11/2009 5:08:49 PM

oep needs to read more than the title of the thread

10/11/2009 5:10:24 PM

i read the full OP, thank you. it was the same bullshit trick from 10 years ago. i get that.

what i am saying is the technique used as proof in the first equality has nothing to do with the technique used in the 2nd false equality.

hence, i pointed out the meaningless "then".

if the techniques were the same, i would understand.

the 2nd false equality should be given on its own to fool people. presenting the first correct unrelated one doesn't strengthen the argument of the 2nd false one.

heres the only math americans need

u * s * a = 1
usa = 1

USA #1

10/11/2009 5:21:23 PM

^ In Spanish, u = s.

Therefore, u*u*a = 1.

a = 1/(u*u)

10/11/2009 5:25:48 PM

in spanish, usa=eeuu

therefore (e^2)(u^2) = 1

"therefore (e^2)(u^2) = 1"

=> (eu)^2 = 1

take +ve square root of both sides

=> eu = 1

therefore, EU #1
