this is retarded
.999... does not equal 1.
It becomes infinitely closer to 1 as you carry out the decimal places but there will always be an infinitely smaller number in between .999... and 1.

1e^(-infinity) would be the theoretical number thats in between .999... and 1.

1 / 9 = .111...

.111... x 9 = .999...

1 / 9 x 9 = 1

.999... = 1

close this pointless topic already...

1 / 9 = .111...

.111... x 9 = .999...

1 / 9 x 9 = 1

.999... = 1

OK finally a proof to this...

x=.9999999999999

If i have 10x = 9.9999999999

Subtract x from ea side (.999999999 from the side without x)

Divide ea side by 9

x=1


(-x) 10x = 9.9999999999 (-.999999999999)
(/9) 9x = 9 (/9)
x = 1


10x = 9.9999999999
9x = 9
x = 1

Wouldn't 10x = 9.99999.....0?

.999...
+ .999...
=
1.998
+ .999
= 2.997
.........
=9.990!
Up here^
look at zero!

Why would there be a zero there??? .999999999 goes on forever... so 9.99999999 goes on forever. If i subtraced .9999999999 (forever) It would equal 9
