Actually 0.99... is the same as 1. They both represent the same number
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999...
If .99....9=1, then 0.999...8=0.999...9, 0.99...7=0.999...8, and so forth to where 0=1?
Huh... Where did you get "0.999... = 0.999...8" from? There's a huge difference here.
Read carefully. I wrote a finite number(0.999...9)
Think carefully
What does 0.99…8 represent to you exactly
If it’s an infinite amount of 9s then it can’t end in an 8 because there’s an infinite amount of 9s by definition so it’s not a real number
