Why 0.9999999...=1
Solution
The solution is proposed by the mathematician Leonhard Euler. Let’s start
\\[0,999 \ldots =\frac{9}{10}+\frac{9}{100}+\frac{9}{1000}+\cdots\]
\[=9\left(\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{100}+\frac{1}{1000}+\cdots\right)\]
\[=9 \frac{\frac{1}{10}}{1-\frac{1}{10}}\]
\[=9 \frac{1}{9}\]
\[=1\]
