Mathematical Question || Is a Circle a Polygon?

[Gamefandan]

Not to sound condescending but why hasn't Gamefandan responded to a single thing I've said?

Ask me question directly, bro.

[Stocking]

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

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

[Teneksi]

Are you aware of what I have stated and do you have any thoughts about it? Would you be willing to share those thoughts?

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?

[Gamefandan]

Everything you know is a lie.

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

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

In mathematics, the repeating decimal 0.999... which may also be written as 0.9,  or 0.(9), denotes a real number that can be shown to be the number one.

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.

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.

pusillanimous individual.

You're losing, bad.

In other words, the symbols 0.999... and 1 represent the same number.

represent

the

same

number

0.(9) = 1

ohlol

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

* SpreadsPlague is ignoring Stocking because weeaboos make me cry

but Iban is smart so I'll listen to him lol
