+101 I have been told that 0.9999infinite is equal to 1
that 1.9999infinite is equal to 2
2.9999infinte is equal to 3
3.9999infinite is 4 and vice versa for all numbers with .9999infinite behind it.
why just why
why does math have to be so weird
It makes no sense.......
shouldn't .99999infinite be one 9 before one?
my head is breaking apart over how in the world this is possible
please help me put my head back together by explaining this to me.....
please.....
+193 The simple term or thing is by rounding and estimating. Since o.99999999999... is closer to 1.000000 then 0.00000000.
+33661 An infinite decimal expansion means there is no end to the 9s.
Let x = 0.999999........ to infinity
Then 10x = 9.999999....... also to infinity
Subtract x from 10x. The infinite number of 9s to the right of the decimal points cancel and we have:
9x = 9
Hence x = 1. i.e. 1 = 0.99999............ to infinity
