Specifically by placing a limit, infinity is disregarded.

How many understand, for example, that 0.9999... = 1? Many see 0.9999... as getting ever closer to 1 without ever reaching it.
This is false, and it can be proven false.

1 divided by 3 = 1/3 or 0.3333...
1/3 x 3 = 1.
1/3 = 0.3333...
so 0..3333.... x 3 = 3/3 = 1.
hence 0.9999... = 1.

In math, "infinity" is always made into a finite number to make equations workable.

OH MY MY MY
I seeee NUMBERS~!my fav~!

okay, LET ME LOOK CLOSELYsmiley: happy

0.9999... = 1?

99(0)99
18
9
18
9
TAKE 2 minus the one, sure...I CAN SEE 1...can't everyone?smiley: eyes

1 divided by 3 = 1/3 or 0.3333...

Well, if that is how you did it, it's not 'wrong'
I found it, another way...see abovesmiley: happy
