Prove that 3.999... = 4
(In reply to
re(2): solution is wrong by Victor Zapana)
Again, I say that infinity-1 is infinite by definition. If it were finite, what number do you think it would be? .000...1, with infinite 0's does not have an end. If it ends, where do you think it would end? This is not a case where one number is equal to another one, they are the same number written differently. Like SK said, that's just how our number system's nomenclature goes.
