0.33333333 isn't the same as 1/3, if the number of 3's is not infiniteDarkMare said:There! I just took a few minutes to scan these 2 things for you guys now that I've finished my exams.
And since you guys needed something that would seem weird (such as 4 = 5)... Here's this for ya!
Notice that what that means is that 0.999999999999999... is EXACTLY (not approximately) the same thing as 1. Have fun!
And what I mean there does have an infinite amount of digits. Hence the 0.999999... (I did forget to put the ... on the first line though ). I just didn't use 0.3(3) and 0.9(9) because I'm not sure if everyone uses that notation.Raistlin1980 said:0.33333333 isn't the same as 1/3, if the number of 3's is not infinite
I'll go and scan it for ya, be back in a few minutes.Raistlin1980 said:Yeah, but the second line:
0.999999... = 3 * 0.3333333...
is not correct. Why should it be like that?
It is correct, and here's the reason why.Raistlin1980 said:Yeah, but the second line:
0.999999... = 3 * 0.3333333...
is not correct. Why should it be like that?
Cool. *thinking*DarkMare said:It is correct, and here's the reason why.
And thus, 0.9(9) = 0.3(3)
Yeah.. that's blatantly incorrectDarkmare said:And thus, 0.9(9) = 0.3(3)
That's why I solved that one correctlyMagSec4 said:well BodomiC was still arguing with you like a jackass.. but I think he gets it too afterall
Yeah.. that's blatantly incorrect
try again
Yeah, you can Besides, the interior of the summatory is just an expression. What it means is that you sum an expression an infinite number of times.Raistlin1980 said:Are you sure that you can apply that thing about 'Summatory(many things) = Summatory (thing1) + summatory(thing2) + etc' when dealing with infinities?
I'm not sure. There must be some theorem about that somewhere *searching*
<Monty Python>Oh yeah, you try that with a pineapple!</Monty Python>MagSec4 said:DarkMare:
uh.. no it isn't, you probably meant:
0.9(9) = 0.3(3) * 3
Yes, i know what a summatory is. I just thought that there might be an error there, but i guess there weren't. Damn you, i won't be able to sleep tonight!DarkMare said:Yeah, you can Besides, the interior of the summatory is just an expression.
