Everything you have posted is spam because it flies in the face of mathematical proof that .999... does in fact equal one. You can make up as many asinine and contrived points as you want, but that doesn't make a single one of them true. If you can find me a single mathematician who agrees with you, I'd be incredibly surprised. Instead you're arguing the point argued by high school freshmen. I don't mean to make an appeal to authority but if you think you're more intelligent than everyone who has ever contributed to mathematics in the past 100 years, you've got an ego problem.

Also, strikethrough doesn't really work with an equals sign.

u said 6/9 = .66666...

that's all i need to type

yeah, i agree w/ u on ur edit :\

So what does 6/9 equal? Do the long division and get back to me when you finish.

um sir, you're retarded

the fact that it's 10x=9.99.... means the 9s are continuously going, therefore since x=.99.... continuously that is equivalent to 10x=9+x

all i know is that it isn't .666... since there is a 7 in it like ill try to go to infinity

that would mean 9.99... = 9.999... as ive sed forever before

i beg to differ if you think they are the same.

and since you can't do a mathematical equation like that, it seems ur math skills are also bad. don't reply to me, I disproved you, now cry.

There isn't a seven in it. You are officially retarded.

This is a perfect example of why calculators shouldn't be used in math classes until you get to calculus.

um actually there is a 7 in it, because it's being compared to NINE, WHICH FUCKING MEANS EVENTUALLY THE NUMBERS HAVE TO GO SOME WHAT HIGHER THAN BEFORE SO 9/9 EQUALS 1 U FUCKING IDIOT, UR THE ONE USING A CALCULATOR BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND LOGIC, do not reply to me, I win, you lose, rage.

/e i don't know why you would limit yourself to dividing to prove infinity anyhoo.

lolumad

Edit: What you typed is utterly meaningless. Do out 6/9 on a piece of paper with a pencil and tell what decimal place the 7 is in please.

Dude .. honestly you do NOT know what you are talking about.

To push my point even further, 10x=9.999... ---> 10x= 9+ .999... is true.. and since we said x=.999... we can substitute them in.

These decimals places go on for INFINITE places, that means there is NO finite number. So when you multiply by 10 the translation is NOT 10x=9.99..., its' 10x=9.999..., or 10x=9.999999999... for all i care. The ... is just to express that it goes on infinitely

and to bypass your dumb ass take the other proof i put down proving a geometric series..

take the series .9+.09+.009 + ...
That's .9 being the first term with a common geometric ratio of 1/10

So that's (9/10)(1/10)=9/100=.09 being the next term, etc

Therefore, when you use the formula A1/(1-r), WHICH IS THE SUM OF ANY INFINITE SERIES, you get (9/10)/(1-1/10)= (9/10)/(9/10)=1

You sir, are retarded.

Dont question me I'm an engineer with a far higher GPA than you.
