my thread...again!

Tell me now, before i read through all the pages. Has anything new been proven? I can't be bothered reading 26 pages of arguements that go round in circles. thanks :)

What is the definition of = btw? I think that's a lot of where the confusion comes from.

"Is equal to"

When you're dealing with constants and such (ie 2+2=4) "=" is fine. If you're dealing with something like an identity with variables, (Cos^2 x + Sin^2 x (IS ALWAYS) 1) then you'd be using an identity sign, which looks like equals, but has 3 -'s

0.9r = 1 mathematically. Otherwise, its open to debate

It's only 20 if you view 40 per page. ;)

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

Alpha you're a huge **** for doing that but only technically, common sense and philosophy suggest that it's superb! :D

Basically at least half a dozen proofs have been produced to demonstrate that 0.9r = 1 exactly. Despite that the majority still cling to the view that maths is wrong in this case despite being unable to produce a reason why it is wrong.

True, its a very nasty thing to do, but it did show I was right didn't it :D True, I embarassed her and proved my point, all in one go. Suffice to say, it was good fun :D

Pretty much.
 
Basically, 770 posts in 9 hours have failed to prove anything that we didn't know already. 0.9r is mathematically 1. Philosophically, they may well be different.

That was mean Alpha! <hugs Haly>
 
So = means equal to but does not mean it has to be identical?

Or does it?

See my post about the literal terms 1 and 0.9r

9x - 5 = 7 - 5x
This is "equal", I claim. However, it is only equal for one value of x. (Or some value of x, but not ALL x)

1 1 1
-------- = ----- - -----
x (x+1) x x+1
This is ALWAYS true, for any value of x. Try it. We call this an identity.

The forums do not like my text formatting. Bah.

Sorry to mess your theory up, but Pious's original thread was

Dons/Admin can you please turn this into a poll?

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

Does 0.9r (0.999...) = 1?

Yes

No


Wheres the maths in that?, he never stated that it was the mathematical definition of 0.9r (0.999...) = 1 did he? Therefore "everyone" in this thread is correct. If he'd said "mathematically" does 0.9r (0.999...) = 1 then the answer is clearly yes.
Non mathemetically defined 0.9r (0.999...) = 1? means nothing more than Xr=50 using Obl][vions theory.
