0.999999 = 1 is wrong. 0.9999999.... = 1 is true. That 0.0000001 part doesn't exist with an infinity of 9.
It is basic mathematics, you can learn it in school (okay, it's more often teached as a "fun fact" in college or engineering schools), it's really well-known and established. You don't know how to prove that it is bad maths because it's not. You can find flaws in a demonstration of 0.99999.... = 1 but you will always find other ways to prove it, but not the contrary. Example (I did'n't read the whole subject, sorry if already mentioned) : 1/3 = 0.333333333333... 3*(1/3) = 3*0.3333333333.... 3*(1/3) = 1 3*0.3333333333333.... = 0.999999999999... So 0.9999999999... = 1 |
Its just rounding it upwards.
there would be a infinite amount of 9s, but there would always also be a part missing.
The reason we can say 0.999999.... = 1 is because our minds cant comprehend infinity,
and it serves no practical perpose to not just accept 0.999... as 1.
That doesnt mean its true though.
1 is a perfect number, infinite 1.00000...
0.9999... isnt ever perfect, even if the 9s go on forever, and your mind cant comprehend there to be a differnce.
It starts out behinde, so even if it goes forever close to 1, it never is.
