What Im saying is 0.9999999 = 1 is wrong. Why? Because you would always be missing that 0.000000001 part. You can tell their not the same number on each side, by the fact that we re writeing them differntly.
In concept.... because we live in a physical world, where theres a limit to things, it could make practical sense. However in math terms I think its wrong.
I think the proof is bad math. I just dont know how to proove that its bad math. |
I hear ya... it's not an intuitive or trivial concept. It's just a really weird consequence of the way we've chosen to represent numbers as decimals. The actual explanation requires higher mathematics than algebra.
