Default Re: Math question (maybe our resident rocket scientist can help)

what we're actually saying is that 1 - [1 - {1/(10*n)}] tends to 0 as n tends to infinity.

1 - 0.9
1 - 0.99
1 - 0.999


...


1- 0.9999999999999

etc.

so since A minus the limit of B equals 0, the limit of B = A. but limit of B = 0.99999999999999......
