0.9999999999~ = 9/10 + 9/100 + 9/1000 + ... + 9/10^n
so, you get your geometric series: Σ (9(1/10^n),n,0,∞) which equals An*(1-r^n)/(1-r) => (9/10)/(9/10) = 1

.999~ = x
9.999~ = 10x
9 = 10x - x = 9x
1 = 9x/9 = x
1 = .999~

It's like 0*infinity or infinity^1 or infinity/infinity

(Funny; I suck at math, yet managed to skip a year of math and get an A(-----) in the first semester of precalculus. Must not be too tough.)

If you're talking about Pavel's babbling
Hey, at least I give real proofs.
Remember that formula for geometric series: a/(1-r) that you learned this year? Yea, in calc, you'll prove that formula, and do lots of fun stuff with it, like prove that 0.9~ = 1 in a non-gay way.

Ogor's "works", because it is right, but Tiger's right, infinity is the rebel of math, every rule that should be obvious for it to follow, it ignores, so trying to use it in proofs usually fails for some inane reason.
Ogor's is easier to follow, but if you got anal about it, you could debunk it.
Tiger's is perfectly correct, and the "true" proof, but almost no one can follow it, hell, there are people on the intarweb who can't follow Ogor's and that's basic algebra. >_>

Remember that all the fun series garbage starts in Q4 and we just finished trigonometry?

I'm tempted to be an ass, and say, "They aren't different though. They are equal.", but I know what you meant by it.
>_>
But I'm also the person who argues that you could, theoretically, add something to infinity to make it larger, so don't mind me.
I said earlier in the topic. Infinity is a rebel. It doesn't play by the rules. It just is. There's probably a reason for it, but I like my way better.

You'll probably find him gutted and disembowled on some street corner, so that might not be too effective.
