...and yes, I'm a Japanese wannabe Japanese from Japan from the Japanese Department of Redundancy Department of Japan (the department I'm from). マホ～

I'd like you to know that although we disagree on many things (as has been shown here) I like you and you should stay for a while.. made me lol.

Except after they were shown the error of their ways they repented, you're not exactly "being railed" when the people that are insulting you are wrong. まほ～

so you're not a weeaboo?

Yeah, that's why.

Not because you just got railed by 3 different people for being a moron. まほ～

kind of how you're being railed by the forum for your annoying signature .. ?

key phrase: can be shown to be the number one

ohlol

this topic makes my head hurt. If 0.999... = 1 then why don't they just round it off every time?

People with actual degrees in mathematics disagree with you. まほ～

0.9 repeating is not a whole number. 1 is a whole number.

0.9 is a 0 with a decimal followed by an infinite amount of 9's following it. this is not 1.

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

keyword: denotes

it will never be exactly 1

You're all beyond handicapped, I usually never insult people directly but damn, right now I'm confused as to whether /lol, /facepalm, or /headdesk.

well that's fine and dandy but 0.9 repeating is still never equal to 1

wait. the first link was exactly what you said - you had to google it? lol friend

And if you're going to treat it like a perfect curve with infinite "sides", what's the point in ever referring to it as a polygon?

because we like being difficult

that's what's called "rounding up," grasshopper

exactly. and if we're being exact, (which is not rounding), 0.999 repeating can never equal 1

Then explain the above. まほ～

x = 0.999...
x*x = less than 0.999... because when we take 0.999... and multiply it by a decimal smaller than one (0.999...) it becomes smaller

1*1 = 1

if x = 1 like you say then x*x should be equal to 1 but in this case it is not

therefore 0.999... is not equal to 1

who gives a stuff about circles anyways?
entire topic is headache

But 8.999... = 9 silly. ムホ～

nope

9 = 9
8.999... will never be 9. very very close to 9, but it will never be 9.
