Is .999 repeating the same as 1, or is it less then 1.
I of course know the answer, but i'd love to see the discussion.

Fuck you to hell. We ALL know the answer, and hate to see the discussion.

If .999 repeating is less than 1, then what number is between them?

The green proof isn't inductive, it's based on the fact that you can sum a convergent geometric series explicitly:
<div class="math">\sum _{n=0} ^\infty \frac{0,9}{10^n} = \frac{0,9}{1-1/10} = 1.</div>

Infinitesimal number.

0.999 repeating is an infinitesimal number.

Godamityouguysuck. Why are you even arguing about this?

[Anonymous No.2522320]

you people are supposed to be /sci/entists, stop posting simple tard-math

[Anonymous No.2522499]

it's 1

There are no infinitesimals in the set of real numbers.

Why is this one of those things that people get so mad about?

2+2=4
NO IT FUCKING ISN'T FUCK YOU

There is no interval between .999... and 1.
