I sold someone 3 cigarettes for $2. That means he paid 66.6666 repeating infinitely cents for each cigarette. If you add up what he paid for each cigarette it makes an even two dollars. Does this mean inifity is infact finite?

>> No.9777137

No. Infinity is not a number. Therefore, it cannot be a "finite amount" of infinity.

>> No.9777140

>>9777109
Infinite sums can approach finite results

>> No.9777148

It would appear that in this case it didn't approach but in fact made a finite sum. ?

So this means that our traditional number system appears to just splice with the inifity that seems to envelop our universe

he paid $2 for 3 cigs. 3 cigs as a bundle is the smallest unit here. you cant divide it to fantasize about an operation that didnt take place, faggot.

no it doesn't it means he payed $2 for 3 cigarettes. if he bought 1 cigarette you wouldn't charge him 66.6... cents

nope you are wrong, there is an infinitesimal between 0.999... and 1 and infinitesimals aren't the same as 0

Infinity minus infinity is zero! Therefore infinity is finite!
Woooooo!

1/2=2/1 or 2 ones
2 ones side by side fused together as one does make oo or A,11 if it is ALL

1 - x wouldn't be less than or equal to 1 - 0.999... if 0.999... is less than or equal to x for ANY positive integer n.

1/3 = 3/10 + 1/30
= 0.3 + 1/30
= 0.33 + 1/300
= 0.333 + 1/3000
:
= 0.3... + 1/inf
= 0.3... + 0
= 0.3...

That only applies in a mathematical world where theoretical that's what would have happened. In the real world it probably read like "3 cigs = $2", "1 cig 3.5/40 cents". You obviously can't pay infinite cents.

>> No.9779072

A cig a dollar, this man isn't a scientist he is a fucking retard. He should have sold those cigs for a buck a piece, instead he sold them for some kind of infinitesimally repeating digits.

Fucking a-hole.

He didn't pay .6666666666666666 for each cigarette, he paid 2/3 of a dollar. Just because the number is an infinitely repeating decimal in the base-10 system doesn't mean it's an infinite quantity. 2/3 is a very real, very finite number.

Here is something to spoil your day,
Some wonderful facts about infinity:
1) some infinities are bigger than others
2) there are more transcendental numbers than normal numbers
3) the total number of even numbers are the same as odd numbers and whole numbers
4) there are more number of decimal numbers in between two numbers than there are whole numbers
5) infinity is not a number
6) infinity is just an abstract measure of the total that's it.
7) and regarding your cigarette question Yes infinity could be finite.

>normal numbers

They ones that aren't transcendental are algebraic. Normal numbers are something else.
