A number equal to 1 to anyone who understands math.
Topic should not even be a debate, however, it is understandibly quite hard to accept by some.
1.) All sequential repeating decimals can be expressed as the repeating series divided by a 9 per each digit.
For example, 3/7 = .428571~
Thus, 428571/999999 = .428571~
Therefore, 428571/999999 = 3/7
When we apply this rule to .9~:
9 is the repeating sequence. We put it over an identical number of 9's, which is one 9, thus giving us 9/9, which is 1.
2.) All rational numbers can be expressed as a/b with a and b as integers. .9~ is a rational number. Thusly, it can be expressed as a/b. 9.~'s a/b expression is 1/1. To all those who disagree, I challenge you to find another possible way that .9~ can be expressed as a/b.
3.) For any two numbers, there is an infinite number of other numbers that fit between them.
Example:
1.08, and 1.09.
1.081, 1.0801, 1.08001...
There are no numbers that can fit between .9~ and 1. thus, they must be equal.
Demonstrations:
1.)
Define x as .9~
x = .9~
10x = 9.9~
10x - x = 9
9x = 9
x = 1
Thus, .9~ = x = 1
2.)
1/3 = .3~
1/3 X 3 = 1
.3~ X 3 = .9~
If .3~ and 1/3 are equal, identical operations on them result in an equal product. Thus, .9~ = 1.
ARGUMENTS:
".9~ is not equal to 1, it gets closer to 1 with each 9 added but never reaches it"
Reply: .9~ is a number. This means it has value. The value of .9~ doesn't "get closer" to anything. It is a number, and has value.
"If .9~ equals 1, then doesn't 1.9~ equal 2, 2.9~ equal 3, 3.9~ = 4, and so forth?"
Reply: Yes.
"There is no point at which as certain number of 9's makes .9~ equal 1."
Reply:
Of course there isn't. If there were a point at which a certain number of nines "made" .9~ equal 1, then it would not be .9~ that equaled 1, just the decimal with enough nines to reach that point.
A "certain number of nines" directly contradicts the concept of an infinite string of nines. Approaching the question from this angle is entirely illogical.
Approaching a car dealership, as if planning on buying the car, but with no intention to do so. After getting a detailed view of the car, checking it out face to face, and then taking it on a lengthy test drive, you then leave the dealership, claiming to no longer be interested.

Check out that V6 mustang. I love how it looks like it might have some power while that Camry smokes it.

1.) To spend your time at home watching TV when you should actually be getting an education.
2.) A method of systematically ruining one's social skills.
3.) When a parent clones their closeminded beliefs/morals into their child without allowing their child to be exposed to opposing viewpoints and opinions. Ususally results in their child growing up to be Kent Hovind.
did you see that kid praying in a corner during Kyle's party? Yeah, he was totally homeschooled.
