Pretty sure there is some mathematical proof that shows the
.9999 repeating forever does in fact = 1

Dont understand how but im not a math theory person.

1/3 = 0.333333.....
2/3 = 0.666666.....
1/3+2/3 = 0.9999999.... = 3/3 = 1

lol circularaments

[eviljeff]

x = .9999~
10x = 9.9999~
10x - x = 9.9999~ - .9999~
9x = 9
x = 1

The proper proof is

0.99999...

= 9/10 + 9/100 + 9/1000 + ...

= sum( 9/10^i ), over i = 1 to infinity

= sum( 9/10 * 1/10^i ), over i = 0 to infinity

= (9/10) / (1 - 1/10), the sum of a geometric series

= (9/10) / (9/10)

= 1

that head asplode pic is so much funnier when

1. your not expecting it

2. you scroll down with perfect timing and get two seconds of "wtf?" before roflmao (rhymes with waffle mayo)
