POLL: Does ? + 1 = ??

[AccruedExpenditure]

Does 8 + 1 = 8 or will 8 + 1 always be larger than 8

 

[tatteredpotato]

yes

 

[Safeway]

Yes.

 

[2Xtreme21]

I think you meant to ask does 8 + .999... = 8

Edit: Replaced oo with 8

 

[SagaLore]

It would be 1oo.

 

[TecHNooB]

No.

 

[tatteredpotato]

oo+oo=oo

infinity isn't a destination, it's a concept.

 

[rivan]

42.

8 + a really really really small number will always equal 8. Calculus...

 

[George P Burdell]

Can you add absolute to abstract?

 

[2Xtreme21]

According to Wiki:

8 + x = 8

Sure does...

8 plus anything = 8

Umm...no.

8 + (-8) is indeterminate.

8 plus anything = 8

[nitpick]

8 +/-/*// anything = 8

[/nitpick]

Further nitpicking:

8 +, -, *, / anything BUT ZERO OR 8 = 8. There are some indeterminate operations like 8 / 8 and 8 * 0

 

[tatteredpotato]

Ex:

The limit as x goes to infinity of (x+1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)/x = 1

EDIT

or even more relevant

The limit as x goes to infinity of (x+1)/x = 1, essentially saying oo+1=oo

 

[theprodigalrebel]

Yes diddly doo.

 

[zeruty]

Does 8 / 8 = 1??

 

[jjones]

Well, if I'm going by the title of this page, the answer is no, 8 + 1 != 8.
