Are you going to try to tell me that something infinitely close to 1 isn't 1? |

for practical examples, 0.9 recurring does equal 1, because machines have a fixed amount of space in which to store a value |
|
0.9 recurring is, by definition, a number that infinitely reaches towards 1 but never gets there. |
|
another way to look at it |

The planet Earth exhibits all of these properties and therefore can be considered alive and its own single organism by the scientific definition.does the planet Earth reproduce, well no unless you count the moon.7. Reproduction: The ability to produce new organisms.
Wrong. |

the (1/9) x 9 proof was proven inaccurate |

The problem with numbers is that people look at them differently depending on how they are used. Not in terms of rounding, just in terms of how they get used in calculations. |

Wow, I used to think Ynot was an intelligent person. And here he is saying that .99... does not equal 1. |

this forum needs a math section for all the nerds out there who think math is philosophy! |

Math is to Philosphy as Binary is to Computer Programming. |

When I punch 0.9999999999 in on my TI-34 II, it returns 1 when equal is pressed. 0.9 repeated only appears to equal 1 because machines round it up. |
|
That's a finite sequence of 9s. This is in the case of an infinite sequence. |

This. Topic. Ismakingmecringe. Especially the logic about "it is really .999, but machines round up." |
