Im joking, dtewi. Heres why its wrong:

 

The square root of a number elevated to square (again, not sure on english) is the module of that number. So:

(4 - (9/2))2 = (5 - (9/2))2

You cant just remove the square and eliminate the 9/2. Actually is this:

!4 - (9/2)! = !5 - (9/2)!  (! stands for the module)

!-0,5! = !0,5!

0,5 = 0,5

See?

Oh, that was to the power of two?

The notation for "to the power of" is ^.

All you had to do was watch how thw 81/4 turned into 9/2. What do you thing happened?

But I still say 0.9999 is different than 1.

Know why?

Cause 0.999999 has no 1 in it.

 

I didn't get what had happened. All I saw was you multiplying by two, not squaring.

Also, do you see a 2 in 3/6? No? But isn't it still equal to two?

0.999... is just another way to say one. They are not different numbers, just different ways to say the same thing.
