.999999 repeating equals 1 So says my wife. She's a lot smarter than I am. See if she's smarter than you.  Let x = 0.99999999 (repeating) 10x = 9.99999999 (repeating) 10x - x = 9x 9.999999999 - 0.999999999 = 9 9x = 9 x = 1 but we started with x = 0.999999999 I don't know what half of that shit means. |

No - Cougar High - U of H, Cullen Camp.... And 3.14285714 don't equal 22/7 - but it's dang close.... Thats what Aggies use.... A more accurate approximation of "pi" is 355/113.... |

Over my head. If I can't kill it, catch it, eat it or fork it I don't need to put that much thinking into it.

[quote="Mudgun"].999999 repeating equals 1 So says my wife. She's a lot smarter than I am. See if she's smarter than you. Let x = 0.99999999 (repeating) 10x = 9.99999999 (repeating) 10x - x = 9x 9.999999999 - 0.999999999 = 9 9x = 9 x = 1 but we started with x = 0.999999999 9.99999 (Rep.) - .9999 (Rep.) = 9 not 9x Because 10x is = to 9.99999 (Rep.) therefore : 9.999(Rep) - .999(Rep.) = 9 You start the problem w/ x as a constant @ .999(Rep.) it can't change , but it's close enough to one so round up. |
