 0.999999... = 1 




Slide 8 - Diapositive

What does it mean to be exact?

First, if x = 0.9999999...
calculate: 
10x = 
9x =
Remember 10x - x = 9x

Slide 9 - Diapositive

What does it mean to be exact?
x = 0.99999999... and 9x = 9


So, is 0.999999... rational or irrational? 

Slide 10 - Diapositive

What does it mean to be exact 
Some numbers might appear or act a certain way, but can be rewritten to act or appear another way. 

We can represent some numbers a certain way to be more exact. 
Ex.
