I disagree that 0.9999999999... is equal to the integer 1

Why not, if you will accept the infinite number of zeros, also accept the infinite number of nines? Something to think about. But I do remember learning, and being upset by, and finally agreeing with, what emanuela said above.


Edit: To clarify: you have to differentiate between how we write down a number, and what it is. What emanuela is saying is that for the number which we commonly understand to be the integer 1, there are two ways to write it: 0.9999999999999999... or 1.00000000000...
