If you want to get a brainlet to understand this, it's not about the proof, it's about fixing their misconceptions. Laymen don't know that ... means it keeps going forever, they assume it's like 10 or maybe a thousand more nines and that's where the confusion comes from.

Virtually all of the usual bait problems posted around these parts rely on some kind of semantic ambiguity (whether real or only perceived by some nontrivial art of the audience is secondary) in their phrasing which then guarantees discord and endless quarrels amongst those who choose to reply.

People who don't agree that it equal one either subconciously interpret [math]0.99999...[math] as some partial sum of [math]\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\frac{9}{10^{-n}}}[/math] for an arbitrary large yet still finite [math]n[/math], or they employ the concept of infinitesimals and believe it's infinitesimally smaller than [math]1[/math] (which is really equivalent to the former case).

Well, apparently not Wolfram.

Wolfram does agree faggot

>>8017327
There is no proof because it is not true. Surprise, decimal expansions are not unique.

>>8018680
They are assuming decimal expansions are unique. This is why rigor is necessary.

my calculus professor bcuz she is the smart!
