"In the high school gym, all the girls in the class were lined up against one wall, and all the boys against the opposite wall. Then, every ten seconds, they walked toward each other until they were half the previous distance apart. A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer were asked, "When will the girls and boys meet?"

The mathematician said: "Never."

The physicist said: "In an infinite amount of time."

The engineer said: "Well... in about two minutes, they'll be close enough for all practical purposes."

It's only the same as the sum of the infinite series

1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + 1/64 ............................

As this progresses, the sum of all the terms converges nearer and nearer to 1.0

At the limit, the total is ½/(1-½) = ½/½ = 1

You're the guy who will get us dead in space because you didn't use the correct number of sig figs when determining tolerances for our ship and decided you were "close enough." =p

.999999999 does not equal one UNLESS you round to the nearest whole number. Rounding to the nearest whole number .99, .98, .97, .96, and .95 round to 1, and therefore, by your logic, they are all also all the same number since they all "equal" 1. If we throw all logic out the window there are fun little proofs where you can divide by zero and show that 2+2=5, but that doesn't make them true in reality. As I said before, I'm not sure what's happening in school these days, but I'm scared :silly:
[Off-topic] LoopDoGG79:
K, mathematically, .999999 does not equal one. In real life, like tolerances, depends on how close to "one" it has to be. If the tolerance is to the nearest nanometer, then you have to go out to at least the corresponding decimal. If so, for all intensive purposes, let's just call it "one", for simplicity.

As stated by others, if you look at it in terms of limits it approaches 1, but is never actually equal to it. It's been explained in this thread more than a handful of times. You may believe whatever you like, but by the proofs, theorems, postulates, etc of mathematics you are wrong.

[Off-topic] Dankest:
How can mathmeticians approximate the infinite is the real question. Nobody really knows what lies at the end, 9 is just a number given by US to represent a language that WE made. Does nobody question how or why the system of numbers we use today even began, or even where the person that started it got that knowledge from?

In foresight .99- is close enough to one for me. Even if it isn't mathematically correct

Thing is, if it is truly a repeating pattern of 0.9999..., the most accurate representation we can deterministically make is 1; since the margin of error is actually nondeterministically small. Think about it!

If I give you a 0. followed by 100,000 9's and tell you there's infinite more 9's where that came from, will you work out the problem using all the 9s you can, say 10 9's in your ti-83? Your error is in the hundred-billionths. If you had worked it out using 1 instead, your error would be immeasurably small.

This doesn't need lengthy proofs. Truly, a repeating pattern cannot be perfectly represented, but care can be taken to choose the best workable approximation for a given situation and ability. .9999... does not equal 1 but that is the absolute best representation we can use for that unique value, bar NONE.

.999999=1 and 1=1.00000001, so. 9999999=1.00000001

Nope.

This isn't a mathematical problem.....it is a philosophical one....interesting :D

Take any number, multiply it by 10, then subtract the original number. You are left with 9 times the number you started with.

2) 2*10 = 20 : 20-2 = 18 : = 9*2

7) 7*10 = 70 : 70-7 = 63 : = 9*7

x) x*10-x = 9x

0.99999999999....... *10 = 9.9999999999999.......

9.9999999999999.......-

0.9999999999999.......

-----------------------

9.0000000000000........

------------------------

Which is 9 times the number you started with.
[Off-topic] Ichigo:
What's your point. Times anything by 12, then subtract the original number. You are left with 11 times the original number. Because you times a number so many times, but then subtract it by its original number, you multiplied it by a number minus one(9^X=Y, Y-1 is the same as 9^[x-1])
[Off-topic] stephj:
When you carry out the subtraction, the infinite number of 9s after the decimal points cancel each other out.

It leaves with 9, 9 times the number you started with, which must have been 1.

Bump. It's fun time.

Which is why .99999999999999999 doesn't equal 1.

Too many pages.

Sorry if this has already been answered, I don't want to trawl through twelve pages of junk

I hope my explanation helps XD

I guess..
[Off-topic] Kitschki:
its 1 because if you have unlimited 9 after the point, there is no existing number which you can add to make it 1.

It only applies to Calculus and limits...

Working the formula continually, it has no end, and continues to add more 9's... It never actually equals 1, just gets closer and closer, and is an infinite formula... But for the purpose of Calculus, and its use of limits, it's considered 1....
