#27 This is Cool » Cut A Hole! In A Sheet Of Paper Problem!... » 2007-10-10 22:50:35

Here is an Interesting Problem I have just come up with which Answers another Problem in a New way!.

How large is it possible to Cut a Hole in a Sheet of Paper!...

For the above because there are many different possible sizes for a Sheet of Paper! it is best to use Percentage regarding Area!...

However Large it is possible to Cut a Hole in a Sheet of Paper! there must always be some Paper left around the Outside of the Hole! for the Hole to be classed as a Hole!

For the above Reason the Largest Hole possible must be < 100 Percent!

So starting with 99.1 Percent for a Large Hole Cut in a Sheet of Paper!...

We can then move on and make the Hole Bigger let´s say 99.9 and then again 99.99 So why not really move on and make the Hole Size the Largest Hole Possible!?

You may then say there is no Largest possible Hole!? for which I would then Reply that is True! But we can Accept the unknown by Knowing that however Large the Hole is! it will and must always be < 100 Percent!...

To Ricky

You must have Nightmares about my Sound Theories and Proofs! the amount of times I have Silenced you it is all in the Maths is Fun Archives!
I understand you turning up and making some Childish Snide Remark once in a while! because you have Nothing else left possible you can do against me!
It´s a Shame you are a Moderator and able to Bend the Rules your way! otherwise again there would be Nothing else you can do!
Now I suggest you go back to the Kinder garden Math forums where you have Half a chance! I´m sure they will Love your Cartoons! who knows they may even like you! but when they get older they will realise you where only useful at Kinder garden Level!...

Now let´s get back to the serous people that come on this site! that are prepared to talk Math! and argue their case! Rather than coming on for five minutes! making ill informed and derogatory remarks! then run away with their tail between their legs! because they have no substance for what they believe in!...

Quote:

(A) 3/3 = 1. Any 2 numbers that are the same when divided equal 1. My proof should be valid. Now tell me what is wrong with this one;

(B) x = 0.999 ...
( C)   10x = 9.999 ...
(D)10x - x = 9.999 ... - 0.999 ...
(E) 9x = 9
(F) 9x/9 = 9/9
(G) x = 1
(H) 0.999 ... = 1

This is a basic proof, show me why it is not valid.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.R.B

(A) This is True! 3/3 = 1

(B) x = 0.999... So x = Infinite/Recurring 0.9 which Equals 0.999...This is OK!

(C)  10x = Infinite/Recurring 0.9 x 10 which Equals 9.999... This is the First Mistake and Problem!...

It is Impossible to Multiply an Infinite/Recurring Number/Value! the Reason being before you can Multiply a Number/Value you have to first Know how long the Number/Value is! i.e. How many Decimal Places Long it is!...
Remember we are talking about a Number/Value i.e. Infinite/Recurring 0.9 which is a Single Number/Value that Repeats Itself Endlessly!...
The Only Calculation for 10 x  Infinite/Recurring 0.9 is 10 x 0.9 Decimal Places! Which would then be from Infinite/Recurring 0.9 Stage One to Stage Ten = 0.9999999999

(D) To (H) Mean Nothing without first overcoming the above (C) Problem!

A Further note! On the above Even if it was possible to Multiply an Infinite/Recurring Number/Value! There is no Known Number Large enough to Ever make an Infinite/Recurring Number/Value! that is Less than 1 in Value Ever Equal 1

Going back to my Original Proof!...

( 1 / 0.9 ) = 1.111... This is the Infinite/Recurring Value we will now use Once Only on the 0.9 Value! as shown below...

( 1.111... x 0.9 ) = 0.999... And Will always Continue as 0.999...

For the above  the Infinite/Recurring Calculation is Done first! before it ever Calculates the 0.9
This allows the 1.111...to Calculate Infinitely the 0.9  But the most Important thing is that the .9´s will always be Less than 1

Quote:

(A) ¹/3 = 0.333... (recurring)                                                   
(B) (¹/3*3 = ³/3) = (0.333...*3 = 0.999...)                           
(C) ³/3 = 0.999...   
(D) 0.999... = 1

A.R.B

(A) 1/3  = 0.333... (recurring)

The above Calculation Will always Continue as .333...
                                                     
(B) (1/3 x 3 = 3/3)

The above is the First mistake! (1/3 Will always Continue as .333... ) Now Times 3 must Equal .999...( 3 / 3 Equals 1 so these are not Equal Values!

(0.333...x 3 = 0.999...)     

The above is a True Calculation! as I have shown above...

(C) 3/3 = 0.999...

The above is the second mistake! 3/3 = 1

(D) 0.999... = 1

The above is the Third mistake! 0.999... Will always Continue as 0.999...

A.R.B

The Only True way to Calculate Infinite/Recurring 0.9 is by One Calculation Only! on the 0.9 Value! as shown below...

( 1 / 0.9 ) = 1.111... This is the Infinite/Recurring Value we will now use Once Only on the 0.9 Value! as shown below...

( 1.111... x 0.9 ) = 0.999... And Will always Continue as 0.999...

The reason the above is the only way Infinite/Recurring Numbers can be Calculated! is because it removes any possible chance of Rounding up the .9´s into a whole Number Value! with extra unnecessary Math! by using the Classic Math trick! Example ( 0.123 / 0.123 ) = 1 or ( 0.333 / 0.333 ) = 1 etc. Where any Two Values can be made to Equal 1

Many Thanks...

Quote: " why why on its own is not a question without some context.
if you were to walk up to a stranger, and say 'why' they would have no idea what you are asking, because there is non context for the question, in such a case, you have to specify what you are asking for: for example 'why is the sky blue' 'why are strawberries red' etc. To ask 'why' on its own with no descriptors and no context to follow from means nothing.
'why' what? "

A.R.B

Now you see how Difficult it is to understand the Concept of the Statement "WHY!"
In itself it does not give any clue as to what is being Asked! or in what way it is possible to be Answered! if there was a similar Question to the Concept "WHY!" then it would be the Question "What is Love" but "WHY!" is far Deeper!...
If you lay down for a while and keep saying "WHY!" to yourself in your mind things start to become clear!...because you will begin to understand that not everything is Black & White!
an example would be "WHY!" as far as we know is Earth the only planet with Humans on it!...or Life! in an Area (The Universe!) that is also as far as we know Infinite!...
Understanding the above what chance do or will Computers ever have!...
