a.l.e.x. -- Your incredibly drawn out theory is flawed because the instant you put anything after the ... like 0.99....1, you specifically reduced the INFINITE number of nines to A VERY LARGE number of nines. As soon as a series of decimal places becomes non-infinite, then the rules change. Kytiara - You talk as if limits are not an equality. They are, though. You can read it as "function equals something as x approaches infinity." What that means is that, when x reaches infinity, the function ACTUALLY EQUALS the "something." Not that it has gotten infinitely close. This is the concept behind a lot of calculus. For example, you can take the integral (area under a curve) for a curve that never reaches the x axis (like 1/x).
