Re: Oops I broke the laws of math.

What are you talking about I'm freaking awesome

also I should be unbanned, for srs

Didn't you talk to Letty/Mint about it?

Re: Oops I broke the laws of math.

1/3 = .33333 (repeating)

So technically, .999999999 (repeating) does equal 1.

End of discussion, lmao

1/3 is approximately .333333 repeating. Since the decimal never ends, it's never exactly equal. So three times that is approximately one. Not exactly.

So technically, you're wrong.

Same thing for Blue Bird.

Wait, did someone say MATHS?!

LOL

I was approximately just taking the piss in that post. Because really, if you just follow the pattern, it approximately makes sense. In terms of PATTERN-FOLLOWING, that is. Which is why it's approximately funny, since in mathematical terms, it makes no sense.

Let's please PLEASE not get into this, shall we?

Re: Oops I broke the laws of math.

lmao so 1/3 * 3 = .99999999999999...

alrighty there broheim

Let's please PLEASE not get into this, shall we?

because you weren't expecting something like this to happen at some point? lol

Re: Oops I broke the laws of math.

I just want to draw that out and see where people take it.










Ooh, ooh, I know!

x=.999...
10x=9.999...
10x-x=9.999... - .999...
9x = 9
x=1
x=1=.999...

WHAT


MY MIND IS BLOWN???

Re: Oops I broke the laws of math.

15.67999... = 15.68

Not "approximately."

Not "close"

EQUAL

DISCUSSSsss

Re: Oops I broke the laws of math.

Actually I was a bit skeptical about this at first but it's true, because since you have infinite 9's it's the same as the result of the series 9/(10^(n+1)), which is 1.

Re: Oops I broke the laws of math.

x=.999...
10x=9.999...
10x-x=9.999... - .999...
9x = 9
x=1
x=1=.999...

Let's see... when you multiply .999... by 10, the result is ten times the "distance" from 10 as .999... is from 1.

Meaning when you subtract .999... from 9.999... you don't get exactly 9. you get 9-9*(1-.999...).

Do I win?

Re: Oops I broke the laws of math.

you get 9-9*(1-.999...)

Which is 9
xD
