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).

I regret losing my "1000th" post status on this response. Anyways, this response is regarding your first paragraph on your response. I could not have written an infinite amount of 9s, or 0s, which is why I used the "..." to abbreviate everything. The "..." symbol expresses an infinite number, not a non-infinite number. Everytime you see the "...," just visualise an infinite amount of numbers after it.

By the way, in one of my earlier posts in this thread, I wrote an extremely long post, which consisted of thousands of 0s. It mainly served as a joke, but "SOMEONE" had to edit it for "READABILITY." Once this thread dies, I'm rediting it to what it was before.
