Need help with Calc I

[Amplifier]

i am taking Calc I as a summer class and in my book it says that .99999... = 1.

this is nonsense am i the only one who realizes that there is a .00.....01 left over when you do 1 - .999...

garsh math makes me so angry

 

[minendo]

moron

 

[eakers]

this isn't calculus.

nice try though.

 

[orakle]

there's no such thing as 0.00.....1 in our notation system, sorry.

find a number between 0.99.. and 1. until then, 0.99.. = 1

Although the OP is obviously trolling, I'll play along - what about 6.5? That's in between 6 and seven.

This thread is flamebait, but I'll bite and call you a dumbass regardless.

Wrong again. There are plenty of numbers between 6 and 7, like 6.1, 6.3582, 6.9281, and 6.87 just to name a few
