0.999...ad infinitum does NOT Equal 1!

Here is the proof.

Let n be any whole number, then

((10)^n)-1))/(10^n)

Never converts to 1, or any other power of 10 !

Example:

9/10, 99/100...((10^n)-1)/(10^n)

Yes Sir, you've always agreed with me on that Mathematical Theorm.

Anyone else(?)

It would be quite stupid to say that it does equal 1

0.99999999 repeating doesn’t equal 1. Saying otherwise is dumb
Avatar of One_Zeroth

Cool, I see what you mean, now, Sir.

Avatar of ActionCaptn

You are wrong, 0.9 period equals 1.

Maybe think of it as 1=3*(1/3)=3*0,33333333..... =0,999999999.........

Not this again

He totally discounted my demonstration, and provided nothing new, at all.

It’s infinitely close to 1 though
Avatar of BasixWhiteBoy
It’s close but not quite 1
Avatar of One_Zeroth

It is not even infinitesimally close, just theoretically approximate to 1. But is never ending and not truly equalling.

It is infinitely close
Avatar of Salisbury_Steak1610
It’s 0.000 repeating away and at the end of those infinite zeros there is a 1
Avatar of One_Zeroth

No such number.

However 0 times infinity is any number.

Avatar of One_Zeroth

Infinity is infinitely more than infinity, infinitely less than infinity, infinitely times as great as infinity and 1/infinity as much as infinity.

It’s true, but it’s typically rounded

How small is infinity than infinity?
