okay?

9/9 = 1 not .999
Work in fractions and you never have the problem of 1/3 = .3333 b/c (1/3) * 3 always = 1 and .33(hulk smashing 3 on the calc)*3 will never equal exactly 1.0000...........
And basic math, two numbers that are not the same never equal each other. Unless ofc if you asked us to round our answer to a certain amount of sig figs, then .99999=1
Not really sure what there is to argue about this for more than 1 page. Unless ofc you like using finite numbers over infinite or vice versa. Or threads on jsp had an infinite amount of post/page. But then again, that is dividing an infinite number by 1 which equals infinity. But could you have gotten .999 from this is the question? Can a jsp page be only .999.... complete?

if you have the dots after 99.999[...]% then yes

+1 ... that's the end of the story so please stop trying to make new math here.

will never equal it, but will always be close enough for it to be rounded up to 1 in regular life situations (not including science or math based careers).

Exactly, that's what I was saying too - in math it doesn't equal 1, but in physics it does.

And some genious told me not to ask physics professors about math stuff, but I just lol-ed and never replied. Because all physics is derived from math and you can't be a physician without being a brilliant mathematicial in the first place. Owned

= 0

Because the amount of zeros is infinity, multiplying by ten would still keep the amount of zeros at infinity (dividing infinity by ten). The result stays the same, and the only number that is equal to itself after being divided by another number that's not equal to the number is zero. Conclusion, 0,00000000000000000.......1 = 0

The other one is this. 0,999999..... + 0,0000.....1 = 1 (= 1 + 0).



Lololol

Let x = 0.99999.... || * 10
10x = 9.99999... || - x
9x = 9
x = 1

Let's have 5+5 = 10
But 8 + 2 = 10 also!
Soo... 8=5 and 2=5, or 8=2 maybe ?!

and about your second example:

Lololol

Let x = 0.99999.... || * 10
10x = 9.99999... || - x
9x = 9
x = 1

?_?

Obviously, this is a kid's logic (no offence m8). You can't have an equation that says a=b and then doing some basic transformations you get a=c, having in mind that b is different than c. Equations don't work like that and 100% that's a sign that you're doing your calculations wrong.

Need more proofs brick?

0,000.....1 = 1 * 10^[negative infinity] (infinite amount of zeros)
1 * 10^[negative infinity] = 1 / 10^[infinity]
10^infinity = infinity
1 / infinity = 0

How do you disprove that?

Here it's displayed better (ty paint):





What logic is this...?!

P.S.

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

Obviously if this was wrong, it would've been corrected a long time ago.
