minus-squarezarkanian@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoMy favorite thing about this argument is that not only are you right, but you can prove it with math.
minus-square💡𝚂𝗆𝖺𝗋𝗍𝗆𝖺𝗇 𝙰𝗉𝗉𝗌📱@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·1 year ago you can prove it with math Not a proof, just wrong. In the “(substitute 0.9999… = x)” step, it was only done to one side, not both (the left side would’ve become 9.99999), therefore wrong.
minus-squareColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·1 year agoExcept it doesn’t. The math is wrong. Do the exact same formula, but use .5555… instead of .9999… Guess it turns out .5555… is also 1.
minus-squareWldFyre@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoLol you can’t do math apparently, take a logic course sometime Let x=0.555… 10x=5.555… 10x=5+x 9x=5 x=5/9=0.555…

Let x=0.555…
10x=5.555…
10x=5+x
9x=5
x=5/9=0.555…
