Series will converge to 1, but never arrive at it. It's like saying that you can divide 1 in half and eventually get to 0. You can't. You can approach 0, but never reach it. As to 1+1 =3 for sufficiently large values of 1, it's just a joke. 1.49 +1.49 = 2.98. |
No. X = 0.999.... So when, I subtract x, I can subtract either X or 0.999.... It wouldn't make a difference.
Btw, 9.000....1x does not make sense. You can't just have a 1 there after an infinite amount of zeros.
