i askIn your statement "1 + 1 = 1", does the symbol "1" refer to:
A: 1 instance of the the type "number".
B: The instance of the type "number" referred to as "1".
C: Neither of the above.
what does the symbol 1 stand for in.
1+1=2

That's right. The first plus is not an algebraic plus. It can be called "operation of confluence". It's a good example how easily non-math people mess up with different types of mathematical operations.Dolphin42 wrote:The statement "1 number + 1 number = 1 number" is not equivalent to the statement "1 + 1 = 1". To claim that they are is to make a category error.
Is there a definition of a finite number? May I look at it?Present awareness wrote:Not only do you not understand the rules of math, gimal, but you don't understand the definition of a finite number.
so tell us what is wrong with this proof.First of all, the number 1 does not equal the number .999... they are two different numbers.
Let be x = 0.999..
10x = 9.999…
10x-x =9.999…- 0.999…
9x=9
x= 1
you would say 1 apple + 1 apple = 2 applesThe statement "1 number + 1 number = 1 number" is not equivalent to the statement "1 + 1 = 1". To claim that they are is to make a category error.
I don't see a definition there.Present awareness wrote:Definition of Finite Number - Math is Fun

And how do you define a value?Present awareness wrote:A definite number. Not infinite. In other words it could be measured, or given a value.
So, you are saying that 0.999... is a non-finite number. Is this correct?gimal wrote:The paper also shows a finite number = a non-finite number thus maths is inconsistent.
Proof mathematics is inconsistent
A finite number is not a non-finite number
And it negation
A finite number= a non-finite number
It be proven that
1= 0.999…
Let be x = 0.999..
10x = 9.999…
10x-x =9.999…- 0.999…
9x=9
x= 1
But that proof thus shows a finite number be equal to a non-finite number thus a contradiction in terms thus mathematics ends in contradiction
Or you are saying that 0.999... is a non-finite decimal?gimal wrote:.999... is non-finite
if it is not non-finite please gives us an example of a non-finite decimal.
If x = 0.999... is not a finite number (as you said) then the following rule could be broken: 10x = 9.999...gimal wrote:.999... never ends -it cant be measured
therefore it is non-finite.
please tell us what rules where broken in these proofs.A finite number is not a non-finite number
And it negation
A finite number= a non-finite number
It be proven that
1= 0.999…
Let be x = 0.999..
10x = 9.999…
10x-x =9.999…- 0.999…
9x=9
x= 1
we are all waiting for you to show us what is wrong with the poets proof.I am still waiting for your definitions

Why are you waiting for me? Did I promise you anything?gimal wrote:we are all waiting for you to show us what is wrong with the poets proof.
i gave the answer to that question in a previous post you obviously dont read the posts at all-i bet you have not even read the poets paper.I am still waiting for your definitions of a non-finite number and a non-finite decimal and your statements without these definitions are not
It wouldn't be hard to repeat it here, would it? The link is not helpful and it doesn't provide your definition.gimal wrote:i gave the answer to that question in a previous post you obviously dont read the posts at all-i bet you have not even read the poets paper.I am still waiting for your definitions of a non-finite number and a non-finite decimal and your statements without these definitions are not

you have not even read the poets paper for if you did you would have seen the proof and to play your game if you want read poets paper then I will not continue with you.And what is the poet's proof,
you are wasting every ones time by not even having read poets paper -for if you did you will see his proofs.Looks like you are just wasting time and don't want to answer my questions. Sorry, I can't help
