In another form I presented a proof (post #145)that the lim of 0.9999....=1 using epsilon delta arguments. I was asked to explain each step so I am moving it here for the latex support.

I start with what DanLanglois presents presents in post #139

Quote:
0.999... + 0.1 = 1 + 0.099...
0.999... + 0.01 = 1 + 0.0099...
0.999... + 0.001 = 1 + 0.00099..
I do not prove this but it follow from basic arithmetic (by the way numbers carry in addition)....
