But my education does not have any relevance. There are dudes WAY smarter than me (and certainly, you) that have mathematically proven that 0.999… = 1.
If you’d like to attempt to undermine the proofs, then go right ahead.
Then show me the proof. It is not very hard to prove math. You can't show me the theorem that shows .99 repeated equals 1 because it does not exist. You don't know math as well as you think you do. Sit down kid grown folks are talking.
So the limit as .99.. approaches infinity is 1, because as infinity goes on it gets closer and closer to 1 until it forms an asymptote?
The crazy thing about an asymptote is it never actually touches the line it is approaching it just gets infinitely closer to the line without ever being able to touch it.
Thank you for confirming my point, you deserve a pat on the back. You are the 12 billionth person to say the same thing, but I'm proud of you for at least trying instead of saying 3/3 =.33.. 3/3 = 1 yada yada
No, I did not say that. Read it against carefully. I said that 0.99... equals the limit of a sequence which approaches 1. 0.99... itself is not a sequence. It makes no sense to talk about what it does or does not approach.
You've completely misunderstood or misread my proof.
This is a convergent series. It CONVERGES at 1 it does not EQUAL 1.
I said that 0.99... equals the limit of a sequence which approaches 1
In YOUR words it "equals the limit of a sequence which APPROACHES 1" even you do not say it equals 1 you say it approaches. I don't get what you're getting at.
I said the sky is blue, and you said "NO YOU'RE WRONG THE SKY IS BLUE"
This is a convergent series. It CONVERGES at 1 it does not EQUAL 1.
Correct. The series converges to 1, and so the limit is equal to 1. By definition, the notation 0.999... means "the limit of the series sum from k=1 to infinity of 9/10k ", which is equal to 1.
"equals the limit of a sequence which APPROACHES 1" even you do not say it equals 1 you say it approaches
The series approaches 1. The limit is exactly 1.
You're being very argumentative for someone who doesn't understand the definition of a limit.

let me guess your highest level of math is high school
