/sci/ - .999 = 1?

Yeah. Some people in another forum were talking 'bout this earlier, and the debate seems to be endless.

What do you think?

Let's not do this again, shall we?

It was debated if .999... is equal to 1 though.

However, .999 is not equal to 1, so this thread is closed.

1/3 * 3 = 3

and

.3333... * 3 = .999....

but

1/3 = .3333....

so

1 = 1 and .999

.999...=.9+.09+.009...=.9*(1+r+r^2...) with r=.1
since (1+r+r^2...) is a converging geometric series it equals 1/(1-r)=1/(1-.1)=1/.9
so going back,
.999...=.9*(1+r+r^2...)=.9*(1/.9)=1, Q.E.D.

not that I expect either >>1 or >>10 to understand

3/3 and 9/9 don't have the same digits in them so they're different numbers amirite?

Also, >>9 is like the only one to get it right. I think we can all agree that .999 =/= 1, since 1 - .999 = .001.

Let x = .999..
Then 10x = 9.999..
Thus, 10x-x = 9.999.. - .999
Which means 9x = 9
And thus x = 1
