Does negative infinity equal positive infinity?

>>20381210
How the fuck not? It's repeating infinitely, meaning it is the exact same as 1

For all intensive purposes, yes.

Yes.

1/3 = .33 repeating
1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1
therefore
.33 repeating + .33 repeating + .33 repeating = 1

0.999... can be infinitely close to 1, but never 1. It is not a rational number.

However, for all intent and purposes (in common arithmetic), it's rounded up to 1.

>>>/sci/

1/3+1/3+1/3=1

yes

.999 = x

You can't round it up, what number do you add to 0.999... to make it equal to 1?
There is no way of expressing the difference between 0.999... and 1, therefore they are the same.

0.999999 approaches 1 but is never equal to 1.
therefore 0.999999 is not equal to 1.

Just like a number that approaches infinity or 0, it can become extremely large or small but it will never be EQUAL to neither infinity (that's a self contradiction btw) or 0.

I took a calculus class (not that anyone gives a shit) and we dealt with integrals that had numbers so small that they approached 0.

In electricity (AC) sometimes we would just use 0 instead of the very small numbers and the professor said it's not real math, we just replace the tiny numbers with 0.

You can never go "small enough to reach 0", you're either at 0 or you're not, so a number no matter how small is not equal to 0.

therefore x = 0.999... = 1

>>20381759
I still don't buy it, no matter how many .9's you add you're always going to have a tiny gap.

Adding 0.1 to 0.9 makes a 1, adding 0.01 to 0.99 makes a 1, adding 0.001 to 0.999 makes a 1, and so forth until infinity

Every time you add a .9. you also add a tiny gap, and you will never reach 1. You can approximate it if you like, but the actual number is never in fact equal to 1 unless you fill that tiny gap that completes the number to a 1.

The gap won't fill itself magically just because your mind can't comprehend the smallness of the gap between 0.99999 and 1.

Fuck all the mathematicians out there, I'm not convinced.

>>20381828
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999...

Let {a_n} be a series of real numbers defined by a_n = a_(n-1) + 9/(10^n) with a_1 = 9/10.

The first few terms of the sequence are: 9/10, 99/100, 999/1000, ...

Then, assume, for the sake of a contradiction, that 0.999... is not equal to 1. There must exist a number, c, such that 0.999... + c = 1.
In other words, the difference between the two cannot be equal to zero. It may be stated as: |a_n - c| > 0 for all n.

However, if we try to find this number c, we see that no matter what term in the sequence we take, there will always be a larger one such that the c we have chosen does not work. Thus, we arrive to a contradiction as the number c cannot exist to satisfy the above inequality.

I like to think for myself.

The concept of infinity in mathematics has rules because an actual infinite would lead to self contradiction (what is infinity minus infinity, etc....), don't give me mathematical concepts with rules like limits. The question is whether those two numbers are equal and I maintain the position that they are NOT in fact equal, and I explained why I believe it.

If you want to approximate it, fine, but they're not in fact equal.

>>20381913
Bravo.

Horse shit. Everything else you've said, you've come to the conclusion because of other things you learned. Every time you research something, you're only reading what other humans have come up with. The only way you actually would be "thinking for yourself" is if you took everything you were taught and tested it out yourself. For example, do you believe in the concept of gravity?

Wow, look at these angry faggots. lmfao

.99999 recurring = 1

Is simply a generalization. Basically the difference between using 0.99r and 1 is unimaginably minuscule, it is far simpler to calculate using the 1, since the answer variance will be something you will never notice.

That is the simple explanation, but it has 2 different ways of looking at it, from a mathematical point of view (where .99r == 1) and a logical point of view (where .99r NOT = 1).

So the answer is, it depends of the context from which you look at it.

>>20382014
I've learned not to trust just anything that I read, no matter who says it or how many. That's a dangerous path to take.

I check with my mind first, apply my own logic and reasoning, and the idea that the numbers 0.999999.... and 1 are EQUAL conflicts with my basic rational way of thinking.

They are close, you can change the number to a 1 because the different is so insignificant, but they simply are not the same number.

Well sorry but I'm not convinced, 0.99999~ goes until infinity and an actual quantitative infinite is impossible in reality and leads to self contradiction (see: Hilbert's Hotel) so that's why calculators may replace it with a 1.

But the simple fact is that 0.999999 is not the same number as 1, they just aren't. Math is full of rules that aren't supposed to be broken, especially when dealing with infinities and in this case 0.9999 does lead to infinity so we have to stop it. But in reality they are not the same number.

After our second addition, which you're believing to represent 2/3, 2/3 != 0.66..., 2/3 = 0.67 therefore, 3/3 != 0.99..., 3/3 = 1 definitely.

If you're comparing the actual string of letters, then no they're not equal.

But when it comes to the language and grammar that we humans agreed to together, they are equal.

A is the same letter as a, but A is a capital letter and a is not so they're not in fact equal in every sense even though they are both the same letter, the letter being a human concept.

If you're a programmer this is easy to understand, and I apply the same logic to math. Humans say 0.99999 = 1 because of the indifference of the gap, but they are not IN FACT the same number.

No they're not, 'A' and 'a' are the same letter, but they're not exactly the same and that's enough to say that they're not in fact equal.

If they were in fact the same, then a computer would compute 'A' == 'a' as true.

Therefore 0.999... is not equal to 1.

0.333... IS equal to 1/3


Stop skipping math class kids.

>>20382441
but what's fun is you can still evaluate 0 * (1 / 0)

>>20382430
Well technically to use ... you need to make it a pattern first so you SHOULD use more than 1 nine, but since we know that we're talking about 0.999.... it doesn't matter all that much I guess.

>>20382434
Because 0.333... approaches 1/3 but is never 1/3. Ever. Assuming the process repeated indefinitely it would never ever equal 1/3. Just because a process never ends doesn't mean we can change the end result to suit us.

>Also, auto-trolling thread
I'm actually actively participating.

Come at me limits

It is in some situations.

For instance 1/3 = 0.333333333 repeating when converted to a decimal

1/3 * 3 = 1 and 0.3333333333 repeating * 3 = 0.9999999999 = 1

>>20382475
It's funny, because 0.333... = 1/3 by the same way that 0.999... = 1. If you didn't skip math class or if you weren't retarded you'd know that

>>20382224
That is correct.

In my country we've got grades from 1 to 10

Each semester important classes have a final exam which counts for 1/4 of the final grade.

So the final grade is grade_avg * 3 + final, everything / 4


For example, if you get 10, 10, 8 during a semester and a 10 in the final, your grade is calculated like this:

(10+10+8) / 3 = 9.(3) this is the average of grades obtained during the semester

9.(3) * 3 = 27.(9)
27.(9) + 10 = 37.(9)

37.(9) / 4 = 9.4(9) = 9.5

And 9.5 gets rounded to a 10

Nope, I give up, have fun with your basic cursory understanding of higher mathematics.

>have rules that prohibit certain operations to be applied to infinity
Such rules do not exist, arithmetic operations like additions are defined for real numbers like 1 and 1.3, but infinity is not a real number therefore addition for infinity is undefined.

1/3 = 0.33'
2/3 = 0.66'
3/3 = 0.99' / 1

so yes, 0.99' is 1.

Computers, the most logical machines in the world DO NOT think that 1/3 = 0.333...

They think it equals 0.33333334 (repeated until desired measure of accuracy is reached).

Bye.

get a better computer bro

Are you seriously that fucking retarded?

>>20382535
Because computers cannot into infinity

>>20382315
you can't divide and multiply by zero, faggot

HURR DURR NEARLY GETTING THERE IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME SHE'LL BE RITE MATE!

ITT we are retards and don't understand infinite series

go look up the repeating fraction for the constant e dumbasses

>>20382560
>>20382564
Why don't you guys provide arguments for that guy instead of insults?

Honestly what a bunch of punk kids you are in this board, if you have nothing to contribute just sit quietly and read or leave.

He's a bastard? WELL THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING! Grow up.

>>20382600
All that guy did was assert that computers round, which they don't. Provide some evidence for your claim before asking to argue.

0.99... = undefined

>>20382619
IF THEY DIDN'T ROUND HOW THE FUCK WOULD THEY EVEN OPERATE? SIT THERE CALCULATING FOREVER ARE YOU BRAINDEAD

>>20382644
You are retarded.

>>20382619
Ofcourse they round, if they don't then they find another way to stop the infinite calculation of numbers.
Do you really believe the infinite series of 9's really exist in memory in the computer? It would hang and crash in a matter of seconds.

For a technology board you guys sure do suck at logical thinking.

>falling for trolls
I seriously hope you guys don't do this
.999...=1, and exactly 1. Not close to 1, or 1 for all practical purposes, but exactly 1. If I am doing a limit, say, lim(x->o) sin(x)/x, I'll right the answer as 1, even though there is no value for x=0

>>20382535

2+2 = 5 for large values of 2

ITT: people who dont know how to write decimal numbers as fractions

eg:
2.111... = 2+ 1/9
2.353535... = 2 + 35/99
...
0.999... = 0 + 9/9 = 1


conclusion: lrn2write decimals as fractions

>>20382713

>>20382535
I really don't know if this guy is for real or not.

>>20382634
are you retarded?
if you're checking if 2+2=5 (clearly just an example),
you can't multiply both sides by zero and say "oh, well 0=0 so it checks out"

ITT people concluding 0.99... equals 1 even though it's impossible to prove the end result of 0.99...

>>20382704
IT'S THE DEVIL'S WAY NOW.

Those demonstrations is like trying to scratch your head with your feet

You might get desired result, but it's... dumb

>or should I say 9.999.../10

People trying to prove 0 and 9/10 = 10/10

>>20382797
well played

No number can be 2 numbers at the same time without rounding.

My life is complete

>>20382843
1/2 != .5?

In practice, yes it does.

A precision of 0.999... is equal to 1 in any real life application you can think of. After a certain barrier the result is so close to 1 that it makes no difference.

what is 1-.999...
