Off Topic / Re: My sister does not like my cat

« on: March 21, 2011, 08:51:54 PM »

Some people like cats... and others are crazy.

My cat was sleeping and my sister poked her to check if she was alive (she's very old, 19) and she woke up and hissed at her
i think they're neutral now

As if the cat knew it was poked awake because she was making sure she was alive.

Wait wait wait... I just saw 199 videos in your Account Eksi, now there's 198 what happend?

I deleted one.

I dare someone to figure out which one it was.

I think of it this way:

0.(0)1

Before we get to that 1, we have to get through infinite zeros.
Infinite, by definition, means it has no end.
Never-ending nothingness.
You never reach the 1.

What happens when you subtract from 1 a number that never stops being nothing?
nothing.

0.(9) = 1 - 1/infinity
Yes

Multiply both sides by infinity.

infinity/0.(9) = infinity - 1

Clearly a difference.

An infinitely small difference.

Back to the actual topic?


A polygon has sides which can be measured, and a circle does not have any measured sides. It has angle measurements, which refer to one of the infinite points on the circle. You can say that those points are finite but they are finite in the way that the amount of numbers between 0 and 1 is finite. As a shape it is not treated the same way a polygon is treated.

You find a "side" (rather, a single point on the curve) through angle measurements, not by it actually being a side with a length.

for all PRACTICAL purposes it is equal to 1

So, for all intents and purposes, 0.(9) is equal to one. So why call it anything but one if it is in fact infinitely close to 1?

1 - 0.(9) = 0.(0)1, which is infinitely small. At that point, it isn't even a thing. It's only an idea. It is nothing. It is zero. 0.(9), or 1 - 0.(0)1, would be 1.

IN MY OPINION. (which I add as it has changed within the last hour)

not practically, no

but this whole argument isn't practical

Well then that's that, personally.

So then, what would 1 minus 0.99 repeating be? It would have to be something, or else there would be no point in saying 0.99 repeating

it would be 0.(0)1

Infinite zeros. Is that even worth calling anything but 0?

1/3 is 1/3, it cannot be converted into decimal format.

which is why graphing calculators always turn it into .3333333333 by default

Make a redundant topic

this shows only that the areas of both a circle and a regular polygon can be found in the same way.

there

this is what I was trying to say
This is all you "proved"

True, but if there is no difference between two numbers, they're equal to each other right? マホ～

Also Eksi... why so mad...?

I'm gonna go now. I have more relaxing things to take part in.

AND LEAVE BRITNEY STOCKING ALONE SINCE WHEN IS EVERYONE IN THIS loving COMMUNITY AGAINST UNIQUENESS

By what fraction could you end up with a decimal value such as 0.(9)?

INFINITY MINUS ONE OVER ONE

I didn't say "whole number", there is no number in existence between X.999... repeating and X+1. This is not the case for any other number there is. まほ～

REAL NUMBER, THEN

YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO BE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER IS EXACTLY SAME AS THE OTHER ONE
OR YOU CAN SAY IT, BUT IT DOESN'T loving MATTER BECAUSE WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE SOME DAY ANYWAY

SO WHY EVEN loving TALK ABOUT IT JUST forget SOMEBODY AND SHOOT YOURSELF OR SOMETHING
