Saying that .9 repeating is not the same as 1 is as retarded as claiming that .5 and 1/2 are different numbers because "HUR DUR 5 IS NOT THA SAM AS 1 AND 2 HAHA DUR I SO SMRT!!!!1!ONE!!111!!"

Wrong. The ellipses at the end of the 9 means that there are an INFINITE number of nines. That 0.000...001 retardation means that there are a FINITE number of zeros between the decimal point and 1.

0.9+0.09+... denotes a LIMIT

wrong

>> No.9455073

>>9455054
>>9455067
Also, let me add into it.
You can not only add an infinite amount of numbers into this, but as you are only adding nines into it, you know for sure that the end of it is 9
So, just imagine you are "fast-forwarding", warping, into the end of this number, you can only see nines.
so 0,999... 999.

>> No.9455104

if we just swapped to using base .999— instead of base 10 we wouldn’t have this issue

>> No.9455135

>>9455073
>>9455073
Again, you can't know for sure it is a 9. That is still an assumption.

Suppose:
[math] n=\lim_{x\to\infty} \dfrac{10^x-1}{10^x}=0.99...9\\
m=\lim_{x\to\infty} \dfrac{10^x-2}{10^x}=0.99...8\\
s=\lim_{x\to\infty} \dfrac{n-m}{10^x}=0.00...1\\
[/math]
s is undefined because it defines the terminating digit of an irrational number as even or odd. m or n(or both) is an inconsistent definition.

s = n - m = 0.00...1

fuck all you stupids

.9 repeating = 1

.000...001 doesn't fucking exist, it isn't even well defined in the hyper reals

.3 repeating = 1

and yes, = equals, not some gay fucking arrow

>> No.9455195

>>9455164
If you chose to define the number that way, then we have to say
0.333...3 = 1/3
3(1/3) = 1 = 0.999...9
1-0.999...9 = 0.000...1 = 0.000...0

Technically, under this definition having n+0.000...0 OR n+0.000...1 is the next largest number after n. The additive identity element, "0", becomes very muddy in this choice.

>> No.9455205

>>9455195

okay, faggots, if you think you are so smart, and think those are two different real number, there must be numbers between them
give me a decimal representation of any number you want between 0.9999.... and 1.000...
1.999....5 is not a valid candidate because you can't do that in real numbers, that is, say there's an infinite sequence of numbers which somehow ends in a different number
0.9999..... is not 0.999....9, because the sequence doesn't end

Uneducated retard.
Go learn something, you clearly have no clue what you are talking about.

Have a look when two real numbers are equal.

SPOILER: Since a real number is just the equivalence class of cauchy sequences of rational numbers, they are equal iff they are in the same cauchy series, by definitions that is iff their difference converges to zero.
