xJakex Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 So, if 3 = 1, then 3 = 3/3... Hmmm :-k (3 = 1 btw, google it :)) I'm Jake Milroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsdragon Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 (3 = 1 btw, google it :)) Yeah.. telling us to google something when we don't have something exact to look for doesn't help us at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnislash42 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 (3 = 1 btw, google it :)) Not finding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xJakex Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Brahh, I'll hunt up some textbooks tomorrow. For now, it is bed time. And, btw, Devilsdragon, I wasn't forcing you to google anything. EDIT Let j and any power or coefficient of j, eg 2j, be a complex number, and not real. To solve this equation, we gather all the imaginary parts and all the real parts and compare. If you hate maths, look away now: (1 + j)z = 3 + j z + zj = 3 + j z = 3 (that's the comparison of the real bits) zj = j (and that's the imaginaries) :. 3j = j :. 3 = 1. There's an abridged version. It's sort of hard to teach, I'm glad I'm not a teacher. :) I'm Jake Milroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ment that when I went to google it, I couldn't find it. And I never used the word force, I said tell, which is what you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_OnE Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Also, if you think about it, what would you add to .9 repeated to get 1? It would have to be .0 repeated but where would you add the 1 inside of the .0 repeated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death_By_Pod Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 (1 + j)z = 3 + j z + zj = 3 + j z = 3 (that's the comparison of the real bits) zj = j (and that's the imaginaries) :. 3j = j :. 3 = 1. ThatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s some horrible maths and ignores many fundamental properties of complex numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnislash42 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Nope, you're dividing by 0. (1+j) z = 3+ j Z + jz = 3 + j Z- 3 = j - jz 1 = (j - jz) / (z-3) Therefore if Z = 3, it's undefined. Which is why you're getting 3=1. 1 = [(z-1 ) j ] / (3- z) As (z- 1) * j must equal a real number, since Z is a real number and the value is 1, there's no solution as j is imaginary. Pwned.

speedofsound Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Never thought of that before. I'll join Biabf. GAH?! I'll join both of you.. GAH?! I mean it's summer... I'm not supposed to think =; I concur....GAH?! let my brain now be in a state of atrophy.... *sighs of relief* You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."

stan18 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 ooo i remember one of my teachers teaching us this... it was interesting, i forgot how he proved it though. he said in math, most people accept the fact that .9 repeating = 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_ice Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Also, if you think about it, what would you add to .9 repeated to get 1? It would have to be .0 repeated but where would you add the 1 inside of the .0 repeated? No..you add .1111... to .9999.. to get 1. Ya'll are all thinking way too into this. .9999 and 1 are not equal. No matter how infinitely small the difference may be there is still a difference. And no 1/3 + 2/3 does not equal .999.. it equals to 3/3. Fractions and decimals are two totally different ways of viewing things. I think everyone is just thinking too deep into this. :lol: Or I could be an idiot in some parallel universe where numbers hold the world together :wall: lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone is just thinking too deep into this. :lol: Or I could be an idiot in some parallel universe where numbers hold the world together :wall: lol .1... + .9... = 1.1... NOT 1. 1/3 is equal to .3... meaning it should be interchangable. Let 1/3 = x Let .3... = y 3x = 1 3y = .99999... So that's the question .999999... =? 1 I think it's to late for you to be thinking correctly. Or what you said at the end. In order to get 1 from .9999... you would need to add an infinite amount of zeros with a 1 at the very very end of infinite which ends no where.

xvillexvalox Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Why didn't you carry the n on the -9/-9 (first code below the line)? you need to try to get n = fraction So you divide 9 on both sides to get n alone. Well I'm not really sure what you're saying but I think that was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
