Also,
let X= .999999999999999999999999999999
10x= 9.999999999999999999999999999999
10x-x=9.999999999999999999999999999-.999999999999999999999999999
9x=9
x=1 but x=.99999999999999999999999999999
I think I broke maths
debate me.
Also if you write .99999 and a recurring geometric series .9+.09+0.009 and use the formula a/1-r where a is the first term and r is the common ratio you get
Math was never accurate? what?
The reason this occurs is because the further you go out in decimals to infinity, the closer you get to one, the number will never reach one.
It is widely accepted that .9 recurring is one. Seriously, go grab a scientific calculator and either do .9 with a dot over it or just do .99999999999999999999 and it'll display one.
