1 = 0,999999999999?

like 36 and 72.

 

The only reason we have base 10 is because most humans have 10 fingers+thumbs.

Our number system is multiples of powers of ten added together, for example:
502.06 = 5*10^2 + 0*10^1 + 2*10^0 + 0*10^(-1) + 6*10^(-2)
With a recurrent decimal, we have what is known as a geometric series:

Code:

0.9999... = 9*10(-1) + 9*10(-2) + 9*10(-3) + 9*10(-4) + ...
= 0.9*10^0 + 0.9*10^(-1) + 0.9*10^(-2) + 0.9*10^(-3) + ...
which is 
lim(n->inf) [ sum( 0 to n, 0.9 * 1/10^n) ]
= 0.9 / (1 - 1/10) = 0.9 / (9/10) = 1

I have seen arguments for base 12 before, mostly in defense of the foot that is divisible into 12 inches. I don't actually feel very strongly about which base we use, since I can already use 3 different bases with some proficiency (2, 10, and 16). Learning one more wouldn't be hard.

I do not!

 

I know base 10, and a little of base 2.

 

As I said in the previous thread, if 0.9' = 1.0', then there's redundancy, for which there is no reason to be in a human invented system. Although language also has redundant features, those are mostly to do with easier pronunciation - I can't see why the redundancy would be created here, except for the obscure nature and comprehensibility of infinity.

 

i know base 2 , 10 and 16, needed to learn 2 and 16 for s=comp sciense

 

I've yet to meet man that can outsmart bullet.

 

A person in gold titanium armor that is 3 feet in thinckniss can outsmart bullet.

 

That's not outsmarting.

That's just surviving.

 

Nor is the bullet literally outsmarting the man.

 

So.

 

you can outsmart bullets, taking cover forcing the bullets to smash themselves on something trying to suppress you. *nods*

 

I didn't see where this thread was posted.

i ate at that restaurant, cheap, but great
