You need to ask some uni math professors and theyll tell you something else.


Oh well, I didn't really have much faith in them when I asked them the question infront of my friends.
Firstly, it was on the spot so I could not show them any paper or provide any evidence whatsoever for it.
It was simply a yes or no question.
Secondly, they teach year 12 maths yet they honestly believe in their heart that 22/7 is an exact value of pi.
Clearly, it is not.

Lmao funny thing happened today.
I'm in year 10 advanced maths class and I agree that 0.999 etc equals 1.
However, my friends do not.
So I told him everything that I found on it, like representing 0.999 etc. with x and stuff as showed in this topic.
My friends are pretty smart at maths too but they thought that I was wrong and that it could be rounded to 1 but was not an exact value.
I decided to ask a bunch of year 12 maths teachers at lunchtime and they all said that 0.999 etc does not equal 1 as it is not an exact value of 3/3.
They also said that 1/3 does not equal 0.333 etc.
Idk who to believe here...
The logic that all of you guys have posted made sense and I think that it does equal 1, but the year 12 maths teachers at my school say it is just a rounded value and so do most of my friends.
What do you guys think about that?



Did you read all 30 pages?
Do you think that every single thing said in this topic is wrong?
Well, oh great mathematician, would you please share your wisdom with us and enlighten us?


your 12 yr math teachers are retarded then
you don't have to take anything too difficult to become a high school math teacher

you need at least basic calculus knowledge to understand the logic ; Just concentrate on learning to factor for now lol...

Math teachers are trolls.

In truth,

0.9999... =/= 1
0.000...1 =/= 1
22/7 = exact value of pi
1 + 1 = 3

So all this 12 years has been sheer, pure, utter, clear, ultimate...trolling.
