Even if you stretch 0.999 (vinculum over the 9s) next to 1 out to infinity they will never meet.

Oh wait. Cydisc is supposed to answer.

yes .. math teachers prove that over and over again .. :thmbup::thmbup:

real numbers ≠ irrational numbers

 

[drickanderson]

Let's take an example. Does (A / B) * B = A ? . of course is does. We all know that:

4 / 2 = 2
2 * 2 = 4

we all learned that a long time ago.

soo .. lets make A=1 and B=3
so 1 / 3 = .3333...

and .3333... * 3 = .9999... oh wait ... hrmmm

it's a thought experiment, naturally, but in practical applications, such as computer science. .999... must equal 1 or everything goes haywire ..

Try that last set with the calculator on your computer ..

Yes but irrational numbers are real. Unless they're both irrational and imaginary, like the square root of negative one-third.

Y'all know there's a thread in the Landfill for stupid questions, right?

Right. I misspoke. I didn't mean real number.

1) Why do Stores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front. :gross:



2) Why do We leave cars worth thousands of $$$$$$ in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

Big deal. I do that when I go to the Chinese Buffet.

Of course not man. It's a lot more than 1. I mean, look at all those 9s.
