I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way txags911.

edit: I guess I should extrapolate a little.

 Take x to equal 0.9999

x = 0.9999
10x = 9.999
10x - x = 9.999 - 0.9999 = 8.9991
9x = 8.9991
x = 0.9999

You can then continue adding 9's towards infinity and it never changes.  What you are implying is as x nears infinity, the number tends towards 1 which is true, however it never reaches 1, just gets really really close.


You forgot that it isn't 9.9999, it's 9.9999.... so your equation means nothing
