14. Does 0.99999999... = 1? If so prove it. If not disprove it.
No, but an interesting theory says it does:
let x = .99999'
= 9/10 + 9/100 + 9/1000 + 9/10000 . . .
Multiply both sides by 10:
:. 10x= 9 + 9/10 + 9/100 + 9/1000 + 9/10000 . . .
substitute 9/10 + 9/100 + 9/1000 . . . = x:
:. 10x= 9 + x
:. 9x= 9
:. x= 1
