I never read the thread.. Did .9999999999........ end up = 1?

[hevnsnt]

I never read the whole thread.. What was ATOT's conclusion?

 

[yhelothar]

There was no conclusion because the idiots wouldn't give up.
But yes .9999999.. = 1

*breaks out his cross and Bible while scattering palm branches before himself*

Did someone say .99999... = 1?!

 

[booger711]

let x = .9999999999...
10x = 9.9999999...
10x - x = 9x
so...
9.9999999... - .999999999..... = 9 = 9x
so x = 1

.99999999... = 1

This is why we're not all math majors.

Oh hell, here we go again...

 

[torpid]

I love it when people try to find the value of x by assuming it to be a particular value and then being amazed when at the end of their "proof" they have proven its value to be something.

haha, nice!! thats what i was trying to say, but too lazy to type it

 

[Beau]

1 - .999... = too fvcking small of a difference for me to give a sh!t.

.999... = 1

Huh?

10x - x = 8x ?

 

[Random Variable]

.999... is a rational number. This means that .999... can be expressed as the quotient of two integers. And the above process shows that that quotient is 9/9.

Enough already!

Frightening how many lemmings would believe this.

 

[Random Variable]

10x-x does not equal 8x.
