Because its defined that way.

It does too.

For all intensive purposes.

.999999999999 = 1

say you were doing something with chemistry.  Then you can be as precise as your instruments will allow.

But .999999999999999999999999999999 = 1

It's all about the context of where it's applied.

To statistics:  = 1
to chemistry/physical sciences =.999999999 = 1
                              =.99 = 1
                              =.9 = .9

It has nothing to do with precision of measurements in science.  It has to do with definitions/axioms and theorems in mathematics.

0.999... = x
9.999... = 10x
9.999... - 0.999... = 10x - 1x
9 = 9x
1 = x

thus

0.999... = 1

No, 1 is 1. .999999999999999999999 is .99999999999999999999999

Dude,just today i had to solve a problem that involved series of 9 after a comma and they sure as hell weren't the same,it just so happens that it was chemistry related.

Now we're talking about 0.(9) for example then i dunno,maybe there is some axiom somewhere that states it's the same as 1 but i still view it as a distinct mathematical entity.

i wouldn't say
.9=1
thats like saying
90=100
i wouldn't say
.99=1
thats like saying
99=100

but after maybe
.9999999999999=1
i will go for it
99.99999999999=100

be aware that

99x2=198
99x456=45144
100x456=45600
.99x.99=.9801
.99x100=99
1x100=100
.99+1=1.99
1+1=2

Alright guys, .99 repeating DOES equal 1.

If it doesn't, then find a number between .99 repeating and 1.

You can't do it.  Therefore, .99 repeating DOES equal 1.

If X doesn't equal Y, then there is a real number Z such that X+Z=Y.
X=.99 repeating
Y=1
You can't solve for Z.  Z doesn't exist.  The DIFFERENCE between .99 repeating and 1 DOES NOT EXIST.

When two numbers aren't equal, there are an infinite number of real numbers between them.  But you can't even find a single number between .99 repeating and 1.

I disagree; think of a limit. A function may have a valid value for x=0.99 recurring, but not for x=1. Hence, they are not the same.

It's not flawed, everyone just confuses abstract mathematical principals with concrete reality. It bothered me for a long time too.

Formula: 0

Formula: 1
