exactly, which is why .999... is a separate number, because the only way to make it 1 is to round up to the nearest finite number.

oh and by the way, i was looking back at this whole argument and there is something that doesn't make sense in your original argument with this.



this is incorrect
this is how it should be

x = 0.9999...
10x = 9.9999...
10x - x = 9.9999... - 0.9999...
9x = 8.9999...
x = 0.9999...

so even your own original statement shows no proof.

For the first part, no this is not true, you do not round 0.999... ever and I don't get what you do not understand, please look up the definitons of Real and Rational numbers like I suggested. Unlike most science math is not a debatable subject, as proofs are concrete and opinion means absolutely nothing.

As for the second, this is another example of you not being able to think in terms of infinity. I want you to SHOW me why 9.999... - 0.999... = 8.999, it doesn't ever. I can clearly see that you don't use math very often... just by the terrible mistakes you are making that are simple to other here as well.

where are you getting i said 9.999... - 0.999... = 8.999...

last time i checked the statement x=0.999... then 9x means 9 times 0.999... and that would equal 8.999 the same way 10x equals 9.999...

I do enough math to understand how to multiply
you told me to start using that calculator thingy. Why not try using it yourself?
