Let us consider a number .999 with finite digits.
.9 = 1 - 1/10 .99 = 1 - 1/100 .999 = 1 - 1/1000 And we can generalize this to say that for a number with .999 for n 9s (we'll call this function nine(n)) is nine(n) = 1-1/(10^n). As .999... explicitly has infinite digits, we can evaluate it as the limit of our nine function as it approaches infinity. lim(1/10^x) as n > infinity is 0, and thus lim(nine(n)) as n > infinity = 1 - 0 = 1 = .999... If .999... had finite digits, this would not be the case, but is by definition non-terminating, and as such it must equal 1. --- "I play with myself" - Darklit_Minuet, 2018 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I feel like the series sum proof is the most convincing.

I mean, it's the same thing. I've taught the proof that 1/(1-x) = 1 + x + x^2 + ... in a setting where the students didn't know limits at all though. For whatever reason, once you introduce a limit people are like "Sure it APPROACHES it but that doesn't mean it IS it". --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

1/3 = .333...
1/3 3 = 1 .333... 3 = .999... .999...=1 --- This signature won't be changed until at least one out of Astrograph Sorcerer, Double-Iris Magician, Performapal Monkeyboard or Electrumite is unbanned. 2/15/20 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I feel like the series sum proof is the most convincing. The conceptual proof is more convincing imo. How many numbers exist between 0 and 1? A lot. 0.1, 0.2, etc. Infinite amount really. How many between 0.9 and 1? Again infinite, 0.91, 0.93, etc. Keep adding 9s if you want. 0.99999999 > x > 1 still has infinite solutions for x. But how many numbers exist between 1 and 1 such that 1 > x > 1? None there aren't any because they're the same number and that's a false statement because 1 = 1. So if you can't think of a single number that is between 0.999... and 1, that has to be because they're actually the same number. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...
