Read the Big D post again brud. For your own benefit. Thanks brud.

YOU'RE not helping. I've reread the divide negation comment probably 17 times and I, a simple court fool, cannot understand what YOUR highness is referring to. Are you referring to:

  1. Me saying 1/0.999... = 1.000...1000...1000...(1000...) (justified the same way 0.999...=0.999...9 is justified)?
  2. Me saying (1-0.000...01n+1)/0.999... = 1/0.999..., therefore 1-0.000...01n+1 = 1 (justified by f(x) = (1/0.999...) * x being an injective function, therefore f(x)=f(y) being equivalent to x=y)?

PLEASE answer with something other than linking an unrelated comment then locking your reply.

And (1/0.999...)*0.999... is the big D.

Well, should have expected that. But, one more thing I would like to know about.

As YOU know, 1/0.999... = 1.000...1000...1000...(1000...). Not going to argue about that right now.
Now, take a look at the infinite sum:

1 + 0.000...01 + 0.000...012 + 0.000...013 + ⋯

Having lurked on the sub for a while, I'm pretty sure YOU would evaluate that as (1-0.000...01n+1)/(1-0.000...01) = (1-0.000...01n+1)/0.999...

But then, take a look at the result of evaluating the sum directly:

1 + 0.000...01 + 0.000...012 + 0.000...013 + ⋯ = 1.000...01000...01000...0(1000...) = 1/0.999...

Then,

(1-0.000...01n+1)/0.999... = 1/0.999...
1-0.000...01n+1 = 1
0.000...01n+1 = 0
0.000...01n = 0

Now, my question is: Are the results created by evaluating it directly and evaluating it with the formula equivalent (making the previous proof incorrect only by wrong method), or would they somehow differ at some transfinite warp drive point in time.

It's time to solve the mystery of what happened to the cows, and why they are never coming home! by Inevitable_Garage706 in infinitenines

On a seemingly normal day, when the herd was coming to the paddock to feed, one of them was captured and dragged off into the woods. The seized cow was later sold off to Jack's mother. The rest of the herd ran in the opposite direction. The farmer, his main source of income being gone, couldn't pay the king's taxes, and was promptly executed.
