This implies that you believe eventually the 9s end. The 9s don't end. It isn't "really close" to 1 -- the 9s don't end at some point leaving a space between the last 9 and 1.0. The 9s never end. It's equivalent to 1.

But seriously, how does adding 9’s infinitely ever change the place value of the previous 9’s? If they must be repeating, then the number doesn’t ever truly exist, and it is never complete. Yet 1 is complete, so the equality does not hold.

The problem is that you're thinking of infinite decimal strings as the canonical form of the real numbers. We don't define real numbers as decimals, but using some construction like equivalence classes of Cauchy Sequence or Dedekind Cuts. It can them be shown from there that we can represent reals as infinite decimal strings (0.999... denoting the Cauchy sequence 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, etc for example). This representation is not unique.

Even if they don’t stop you haven’t proven that they ever equal 1, only that the gap between 1 and 0.9 is always getting smaller. The gap would never disappear if the 9’s never stop. If the gap disappeared, then the 9’s would have a reason to stop.

That’s like saying a curve eventually touched its vertical asymptote. If the gap ever became 0, then the previous 9 would be separate from 1, and that gap will be bigger at the previous 9, and so on, until reach 0.9, meaning there are a finite amount of 9’s.

If it had any useful application then you would have provided it. Another problem I have is with Zeno’s paradox. Mathematicians “solved” this problem by saying 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 converges to 1 or however they wanna word it. The fact is this sum never equals 1, so you cannot, in fact, reach 1 with the above process. How can we still walk from one side of the room to another? Because there is no such thing as an infinitely small distance and even if there were, we humans can obviously not move at such a small distance.

We have to teleport. Any smooth movement would consist of infinite moments, and any subset of that would contain infinite moments, ad infinitum. The finite cannot contain the infinite. And an infinitely small distance cannot actually exist, because if it did, and you could measure it, then there would be a smaller distance than that. So if you say that you moved through an infinite amount of distances, how large were those distances? They can’t be infinitely small, but if they were any bigger, then you would have moved an infinite distance.

Mathematically, there is no limit to how many numbers there are between 0 and 1. This only means that there is no largest finite amount, not that there is an infinite amount.

In reality, the answer is 1. If I cut an apple in two, it is not one apple cut in two, but now two halves of an apple. There is a fundamental unit for space and time, and all objects are composed of large amounts of these units. A larger apple is said to be one apple, although it’s parts are greater in number than the smaller apple. Anything that can be divided was composed of multiple parts to begin with.

In fractional form, such as in 1/4, 1 is just a placeholder for whatever must be divided by 4. It is the fundamental unit. So a number like 1/10^1000 only exists to portray a relationship between two quantities, but it is not a true quantity itself. So if I were to answer your question about what is the smallest fraction, then I would have to know the greatest amount of units that exist in the universe. I believe that number is finite, but no matter, I can conceive that the number is greater. But I can not conceive of an infinite number, so there is no limit to that greatest number, but it can’t be infinite. Only 0 is infinite.

As an absolute no, there isn't. But there can be where there is an equally infinitely large distance to counterbalance it and drive the difference to 0.

You could ask why the 2 don't eliminate each other into nothingness and to this i will answer there is probably an infinite structure that holds the 2 together allowing them to interact in ways that won't eliminate each polarity.

I just realized, in an infinite universe scenario, the neutral structure skeleton that holds the 2 forces together not allowing them to destruct cannot be neutral, it has to either have a positive or negative value to it and this would shift the balance of infinity.

Infinity doesn't seem to exist indeed. Unless we go outside the universe and claim that holding structure is "god" itself, but then we can start claiming anything really.

Then there exists a point on the curve at x = 1. Since it approaches the asymptote exponentially, it will move away from it exponentially. Starting from the first point where the curve meets the line, we can trace the curve backwards, and the gap between it and the asymptote will ever increase until we reach y = 0. We could do this in a finite amount of time, which contradicts the nature of an asymptotic curve. Also, for the graph 1/ 1-x, you’re admitting that the graph can yield a point at x = 1, so we can divide by 0, which is impossible.

Why are you incapable of understanding that to say "it touches", implies that there is no FINITE distance between them.

If they do not "touch" then there IS a finite distance between them.

>there is no smallest finite distance between (1/2 + 1/4 + ...) and 1
That's the whole point of summation, if there is no smallest finite distance, then that implies that the distance is zero.
Here, I'll prove it to you.

[eqn]
\textrm{Let } a, b \in \mathbb{R}. \\
\textrm{If } \forall \epsilon > 0 : |a - b| < \epsilon, \textrm{then } a=b. \\
\\
\textrm{Proof:} \\
\textrm{Assume the contrary, that } a \neq b. \textrm{ That would imply } |a-b|>0. \\
\textrm{Let } \epsilon = \frac{|a-b|}{2} > 0. \textrm{ Then follows: } \\
|a-b|< \epsilon = \frac{|a-b|}{2} \Rightarrow \\
\Rightarrow |a-b| - \frac{|a-b|}{2} < 0 \Rightarrow \\
\Rightarrow \frac{|a-b|}{2} < 0 \Rightarrow \\
\Rightarrow |a-b| < 0 \\
\textrm{Which is a contradiction, so our assumption that } a \neq b \textrm{ is false.}\\
\textrm{Thus, } a=b. \\

0.999... isn’t a number, it only represents a continual process. You can’t say that it contains an infinite amount of 9’s, only that there is no limit to how many 9’s you can add. At no point will the 9’s ever equal 1. You cannot conceive an infinite process as something that becomes actual; it is never-ending, never complete. A circle cannot have an infinite radius, or it would no longer be a circle. A finite distance can not contain infinite intervals, or it would no longer be finite. If we conceive 0.999.. in the most natural way possible, that is, fractions, then we would realize that as we increase the numerator, we also increase the denominator. At no point does the numerator ever become equal to the denominator. Infinity is a broken concept that is completely misused and causes contradictions and paradoxes. There is no use for this thinking. We can use methods of exhaustion without ever conceiving of a quantity that is infinite.

You’re correct that it is not a number, but it also isn’t a value. (What’s the differences between an unbounded number and an unbounded value?)
It only means that there is no limit to the values which we can conceive. But every value we can conceive is finite.

Let me show the nonsense of 0.999... once and for all. There exists a city, such that, for every 10^n amount of people, there is a 10^(n-1) amount of people who have brown hair, and 1 person with red hair. As n is unbounded, the amount of people with brown hair is approximated by 0.999...

If there are 10 people, then one will have red hair. If there are 100, then 1 will have red hair. No matter what the population is, there will always be one person with red hair.

Show me a practical application where 0.999... equals 1, or where the validity of this statement can be used for another practical application. It is more accurate, and just as practical, to say that for any 10^n, where n can be any finite number (no limit to how large it can be), there exists a relationship of 10^n -1 to the whole.

The next number after 1 is 2. The number after 0 is 1. All “numbers” between 0 and 1 are relationships between a part and a whole. So the smallest fraction after 1 is simply dependent on the denominator, since the numerator is always 1. But there is no limit to how large the number can be, so there is no limit to how small the fraction can be. Since there will always be a 1 in the numerator, the part never equals 0. Similarly, with 0.999... there will always be a difference of 1 between the numerator and the denominator. Write out the differences as you increase n:

1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1......

How does this ever magically become 0?

But all this is only true abstractly. It has not been proven that there exist an infinite amount of units in the universe, so there could be a limit to how small a single unit could be to the total amount of units in reality.

0.999... is (10^n - 1) / (10^n)
where n has no limit

If a fraction is unbounded in both the numerator and denominator, how can the fraction’s value be bounded? Its value is always increasing, but it is bounded because it will never become the whole. The part 0.999... will never become the whole, 1.

There are more rational numbers because you are simply taking actual numbers and arranging them, part to the whole. Given only the integers 1 and 2, we can form the rational numbers 1/1, 1/2, 2/1, and 2/2. Given 1, 2 and 3, then we can form 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 2/1, 2/2, 2/3, 3/1, 3/2, 3/3.
>but 1/1, 2/2, and 3/3 are the same!
Not in reality, they are not. 1 apple and 1 orange is distinct from 3 apples and 3 oranges, only the relation between them is constant. So for any number n of integers, there are n^2 + n rational numbers.

In traditional mathematics 0.999... == 1. In Wildbergian Mathematics 0.999... doesn't exist because you cannot compute it. Any number that cannot be computed doesn't exist as a number, only as an intermediate representation that might be helpful when combined with another intermediate representation so long as the combination, somewhere down the road, produces a computable number.

I only said that there are more rational “numbers” than natural numbers, which I proved. Given a finite set of natural numbers, there are more rational numbers. Although an infinite set is illogical and inconceivable, even then, every natural number could form a relation with every other natural in the set, which would be just as large as the list of numbers themselves. All rational numbers with the numerator 1 would already be equal to the set of natural numbers, and we haven’t used 2 as a numerator, so it is clear that the set of rationals will always be greater.

10^n will always be greater than 10^n - 1
An infinite number cannot be conceived which makes this statement false. Why play with this cute notation of infinity when it makes no intuitive sense and has no application? It is true when we say that the limit of (10^n - 1) / (10^n -1) equals 1 but that doesn’t mean it will ever equal 1. It is unbound in its numerator and denominator values but bound in its fractional value, that is, the relationship will never equal 1. Magically transforming the number into an “infinite” one does not make the problem go away, and is hardly intuitive.

Convergence is an invalid concept. The technicality is that a method will tend towards a limit. 9/10^n tends towards the limit of 1.

For different problems where the sum tends towards "infinity" in that it continues to grow, this is called divergence and considered unhelpful.

Mapping all possible integers from 0 to infinity to instead be real numbers between 0.9 and 0.999..., provides that convergence and divergence are actually the same identical concept, but disingenous people abuse convergence to have more weight and meaning over divergence. Divergence never comes close to reaching infinity, so 9/10^n comvergence also never comes close to reaching 1.

The truth is, convergence/divergence is an invalid method while dealing with infinity, because infinity itself is invalid.

0.999... × 10 ≠ 9.999...
there were already a maximum of an infinite amount of 9's in 0.999... , but 9.999... implies infinity+1 via
[x].[xxx...] 》
[1+].[inf..]

the correct way to think about it is just simplifying and doing the math on non-repeating.
>x = 0.999
>10x = 9.990
>10x - x = 8.991
>9x = 8.991
>8.991 ÷ 9 = 0.999
>x = 0.999

you don;t believe that 1 = 0.99999... because either you don't get limits yet
or
2. you are a mathematician, and you believe that there is a difference between aci, actual infinities and poi, potential infinities. And that these are different.

Since all irrational numbers are defined as limits of sequences (see definition or 'e' for ex), you believe the irrationals, and therefor the reals, depend on poi's and therefore "don't exist". From this you can prove that every uncountable ZFC set is a contradictory non-set. Therefore the world of mathematics is in a catastrophic "FOURTH CRISIS" and all butthurt foundational mathematicians have to start over from scratch.

For those that don't actually understand why 0.999... = 1 :
[math] 1 \in \mathbb{R} [/math] is literally defined as the set of all Cauchy sequences of rational numbers such that [math] \lim_{ n \to \infty } a_{n} - 1 = 0 [/math] and the real limit of every such sequence is also 1 by the definition of an equivalence class. The number 0.9999... is the limit of one of such sequences and therefore, it's also 1.
For the baiters:
>inb4 you're using 1 to define 1, your reasoning is circular xd
I'm not. The 1 we used to define the real 1 is the set of all ordered pairs of integers (a, b) such that a=b.
>inb4 I don't believe in infinity so your reasoning is invalid xd
Do point out where in the post I used infinity. Hint: a limit to infinity doesn't actually use infinity. With the rigorous definition of a limit, you can have limits "to infinity" even if you're a ultrafinitist.

You guys are fucking stupid, let me explain. If you write out .99999... if you theoretically kept writing 9s it would never = 1, because you'd die first. Let me give some mathematicalproof for you brainlets.

.999... = .999... that is correct

.999... = 1 that is incorrect. .999999... cant' equal too things.

Let me give one final reason. .9999999... is irrational, irrational numbers can't be divided (because they can't be written in fraction notation) AND if you can divid .999..., but you can divide 1, that means .999 has a different value than one.

Ofcourse there are fake irrational numbers, like 5^300/1, which is irrational because no one could write that number out as a fraction youd die first, but it is theoretically possible. Why is this even ana rgumetn?

Most people easily understand that 0.999... =/= 1. Its only "math majors" who would argue otherwise. But their arguments can be easily pulled apart so they aren't really convincing the masses. A limit is not an equality of a function over any amount of iterations, while convergence/divergence are also feasibly invalidated by the disingenuous attempt to exclaim that convergence is useful towards finding a value, yet divergence invokes negatory nullifying claims that a value tending towards infinity can't be explicitly useful; where the irony lays on the fact convergence is just the literal same process as divergence except with a real number limit. Ultimately, even withstanding faith in convergence, its retarded to say [math]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{9}{10^n} = 1 [/math] in lieu of the more honest and accurate statement that [math]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{9}{10^n} = 0.\bar{9}[/math]
A limit can be a real number, and if you're trying to say the limit can't be 0.999..., you're just admitting that 0.999... is not a real number.

mathematicians are actually conditioned to be retarded through their bastardized curriculum they call an education, and I do not envy them.

fractional numbers need not be converted to decimal to be useful, but its important to note that a repeating decimal value is not a valid number value and the fractional representation should be used instead.

Convergence is not an operation or a process. It's a property some sequences have and divergence is simply not having that property.

9/inf is not though. So there is no inherent easily understood intent derived from [math]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{9}{10^n}[/math] in how it is supposed to equal 1. Its just repeating 9's. Overlines and ellipses do not mean the entirety of an infinite process has been concatenated, cause that would aim to treat infinity like a real, finite number. The symbology only exclaims a repeated pattern exists, with absolutely no indication for how many significant digits are required for an equation. Like how [math]\pi[/math] means "pi", but not "3.14159" or any fixed amount of digits.

Just as we can say 3.14159 is a good approximation for pi, we can also say thay 0.99999 is a good approximation for 0.999..., and just as any greater extension of digits in pi does not arbitrarily increment previous digits (3.14, 3.141, 3.1415, 3.14159, ...), so does any greater extension of digits in 0.999... not arbitrarily increment previous digits (0.9, 0.99, 0.999, 0.9999, ...).
Therefore 0.999... is a unique identity for a unique number that is not 1, but this number is not intelligenty crafted outside of [math]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{9}{10^n}[/math]

You say 9/10^n converges to 1.
You say 10^n diverges to infinity.

these are the same single and identical process. You could just as easily say that the sum 10^n converges to an arbitrarily large real finite number in some n amount of iterations. To diverge and converge are the same mechanical process. Converging to 1 on 9/10^n is no more or less meaningful than diverging to infinity with 10^n, and there are infinitely many ways to either converge to 1 (or ANY given number) and also diverge to infinity.
x/(x+1)^n converges to 1 for infinitely many integer x's, and x^n diverges to infinity for infinitely many integer x's too.

You change the numberline when you have a limit. If 1 is the limit, that 1 then becomes the equivalent of infinity on an unresricted numberline. You will have as many divisions above 0 you want, but you will never increment to 1 on this limited numberline, no more than you could increment to infinity on an unrestricted numberline.

Convergence and divergence are the same exact identical method and your brainwashing runs deep if you think I'm lying to you or don't know what I'm talking about.

Convergence and Divergence are via the function of a limit. They are the same process, but with a different parameter. If the limit is any real number, its considered convergence. If the limit is infinity, its considered divergence. This is the problem though, since converging on infinity is explicitly just as meaningful as diverging to infinity based on the definition of infinity itself. Its not a bad thing to "diverge" to infinity, else it would be a bad thing to "converge" to any real number. Its not a good thing to "converge" to any real number, else it would be a good thing to "diverge" to infinity. The ultimate value of the parent function monitoring convergence and divergence relies heavily and explicitly on infinity being well defined, which it isn't, but even if it were, means the function itself is not necessary or beneficial towards acquiring any further truthful answer. Instead of revealing unknown information in an equation, it instead only acts to transform the equation into an alternate rendering yet fundamentally leaving the equation unchanged.

Its not really a valid maths thing.

My god, you're dumb. First, 9/10^n converges to 0, not to 1. With that out of the way: No, it's not the same single and identical process because convergence is not a process, it's a property. Get this through your thick skull because I don't like to repeat myself. The rest of your post is dismissed because you don't understand this simple fact.

I'm still waiting for you to find that epsilon that proves [math] \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{9}{10^n} [/math] doesn't converge to 1. Don't think I forgot about that.

There are srven lines of 3's. Six of them are increasing after the first.

The eighth line is an extension of the previous seven lines, and also where your brain seems to be fucking up. Just what do you think the overline in [math]0.\bar{3}[/math] means?

Incrementally increasing the amount of 3's (established in the first seven lines), is the equivalent of [math]0.\bar{3}[/math] and the purpose of its overline, being to keep increasing the amount of 3's.

There is NO implied or explicit statement on the AMOUNT of repetition present. The symbology only holds as shorthand against attempting to actually write an inane amount of 3's.

0.333... is an extension of the work as follows:

Any infinite decimal can be represented by a fraction of two whole numbers. For example:
x = 0.6969...
100x = 69.6969...
99x = 69 <- We can do this because there are both infinite 69s at the end of both numbers
x = 69/99
If you don't believe me, just type it into the calculator.

So what is 0.999...?
x = 0.999...
10x = 9.999...
9x = 9
x = 1
And so we just proved 0.999... is 1.

This is disingenuous.

3.33 × 10 is not 33.33
the same number of significant digits remains after the multiplication.
3.33 × 10 = 33.3
there are three 3's in 3.33, and still three 3's in 33.3

The kind of wrongmath perfomed on repeating decimals like 0.999... ×10, to produce 9.999..., is just flat incorrect. It aims to artificially invent and inject an extra significant digit.

So if you disingenuously attribute the repetition to instead invoke an infinite amount, when amount is never an issue and an infinite amount has no intelligible value, you're ultimately faced with [0.nnn...] where there are 'infinite' n, but transforming it into [n.nnn...] where there are 'infinite+1' n.
If you want to call this method valid, you immediately forfeit the ability to give people shit for believing in a number 0.000...1, cause you're saying its fine for an extra value to come after infinity, which just means that if [0.999... × 10 = 9.999... and 9.999... - 0.999... = 9] is true, so it must also be true that [0.000...1] is a real number, ironically providing as much evidence in the contrary that 0.999... isn't 1, for as much evidence you're claiming 0.999... is 1.

>What's the number between .999... and 1?
it's circular reasoning to think "there's no number between .999... and 1 therefore they're the same number and they're they same number because there's no number in between them." It's a priori.

What is the first number that comes after .333...? If it must be the same because there's no number in between then by convention the next number that comes after that (the 3rd # after) is also the same because there's no number in between since the first two "are equivalent". You can quickly see this pattern never stops and breaks down the number system if we decide "if there's no number in between then the two numbers are the same"

You missed that the assumption is "shifting works". Which somehow has a meaning from the context.
That "infinite sequences can [be] multiplied and added like any other number" is the conclusion.
You want somebody to educate you on what "circularity" means?
Protip: it does not mean that the conclusion is radically different from the assumption.

Hm. You're retarded.

I crafted that 9.999... number over iterative steps. I did not instantiate x=0.999..., then multiply it by 10, like you did.
I see where you fucked up.
See >>9892057

My 9.999... number is not the same as 0.999...×10
Lets show the work, starting with bases
My: 9.9
X: 0.9

>My
>1} 9.9
>2} 9.99
>3} 9.999
>4} 9.9999
>5} 9.99999
>...}
> 9.999...

>X
>1} 0.9
>2} 0.99
>3} 0.999
>4} 0.9999
>5} 0.99999
>...}
> 0.999...
for every same iteration between My and X, they both have the same amount of 9's after the decimal place. Towards their futures, My @ 9.999... & X @ 0.999... both have the same amount of 9's after the decimal point.
My - X = 9
but 10X has one less 9 after the decimal than My, because thats how "shifting" actually works.
My = 9.999...999->
10X= 9.999...990->
(0.99 × 10 = 9.90)

My-10X = 0.000...009->

You might do yourself a favor to realize no "infinite" value is ever used, ever, for any application, ever. Its always to some arbitrary but finite point.

Infinity isn't for your use. Deal with it.

A number like [0.000...1] shouldn't bother anyone unless they misunderstand the applications of math or the meaning behind the symbology of 'repeating'. Any irrational decimal will be used up to a finite, real point. [0.999...] doesn't mean "infinite nines"; it means "as many real nines as you need". Doing any math with this value will always come to a finite point.

So the ellipses in [0.000...1] doesn't mean something to come after the infinite. It means there are as many real 0's as needed, followed by a 1.

Infinity is not well defined. Infinity is not meant to be used. At best, it is not considered an actual number, and at worst it pretends to be "the greatest number, greater than all other", which in that very definition makes it finite because it is a ceiling that can't be surpassed, much as there is a finite distance between your floor and the ceiling above.

Infinity is nonsense.

1. Numbers can only be smaller than other numbers.
2. Because they are bounded, finite cardinals are numbers.
3. Because they are unbounded, transfinite cardinals are not numbers.
4. Therefore, a finite cardinal cannot be smaller than a transfinite cardinal. (1, 2, 3)
5. Finite sets are measured, in terms of how many elements they contain, by finite cardinals.
6. Infinite sets are measured, in terms of how many elements they contain, by transfinite cardinals.

All unbounded sets can be shown to contain a finite set within it, with an unbounded set after that. The only relation between any infinite set and a finite set is that the former is greater than the latter. Supposing that the set of integers between 1 and 10 is less than an infinite set more-so than the set of integers 1-100 is to assume that the finite can be subtracted from the infinite, which is absurd.
