0.000~1=0

Name: Anonymous 2006-06-04 18:39

I am starting a new branch of mathematics called inverse decimal representation.

Name: Anonymous 2006-06-05 4:12

clearly 1 * 10^(-inf)

>>2 or just 10^(-inf)

Right, adding ∞ to your number line is always fun. That can be simplified though:
10^-∞ = 1/10^∞ = 1/∞
And then it depends on whether you define x/∞ to be zero, or a nonzero infinitesimal.

Alternatively, you could say there is no ∞ in your system, in which case there is no such thing as "0.000...1".

simplification is for pussies.

I don't think it'll hold since it's too easy to prove.

Given that 0.9999... = 1

0.9999... - 1 = 0.0000...1

Now, if 0.9999... really is equal to 1 as has been proven, then

1 - 1 = 0

Therefore,

0.0000...1 = 0 Exactly zero, by the way. Not close enough or almost 0, it is EXACTLY zero.

Lose for inventing nonsense numbers and trolling with arguments that are unoriginal and have been disproven countless times before.

0.9999... != 1 according to you? Massive fail.

No, you fail for this:
0.9999... - 1 = 0.0000...1
Where does that 1 come from if there's no end to the 9s?
0.999... - 1 = 0, but 0.000...1 doesn't have to be 0 (although it can be), depending on your axioms.

Also, you'd probably want to subtract 0.999... from 1 instead of the other way around.

because there's no end to the 0's in 0.0000...1 either. It's theoretical.

And yeah, 1 - 0.9999..., thank for the correction.

Let's put it this way. 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

As >>9,10, I'd like to say that I fail for not properly researching this or thinking it through. If you accept infinitesimals, 1 - 0.999... != 0. Writing the result as 0.000...1 probably still classifies as abuse of notation, though.

1 = 0.99999....

This is the truth.

And 0.00...1 cant exist. You cant have an infinit of something and then, something finite after.

Just accept the reality : Mathematics is a science. it is not for dumb ass

Fail.  Mathematics is not a science.

>If you accept infinitesimals
That's a very fucking vague statement dude. You can't just "accept infinitesimals" and start applying normal math to it. You can't make up your own definitions of the real number line.

By 'accept', I meant 'use a consistent system which includes them'. Obviously.

stop it guys

How about you shut your mouth when you don't know what you're talking about.

Don't change these.
