Proof by geometric series

The number "0.9999..." can be "expanded" as:

0.9999... = 0.9 + 0.09 + 0.009 + 0.0009 + ...

In other words, each term in this endless summation will have a "9" preceded by some number of zeroes. This may also be written as:

0.999... = 9/10 + (9/10)(1/10)^1 + (9/10)(1/10)^2 + (9/10)(1/10)^3 + ...

That is, this is an infinite geometric series with first term a = 9/10 and common ratio r = 1/10. Since the size of the common ratio r is less than 1, we can use the infinite-sum formula to find the value:

0.999... = (9/10)[1/(1 - 1/10)] = (9/10)(10/9) = 1

So the formula proves that 0.9999... = 1.

Note: Technically, the above proof requires that some fairly advanced concepts be taken on faith. If you study "foundations" or mathematical philosophy (way after calculus), you may encounter the requisite theoretical constructs. Copyright © Elizabeth Stapel 2006-2011 All Rights Reserved

Argument from precedence: If you haven't already learned that 1/3 = 0.333... in decimal form, you can prove this easily by doing the long division:
long division of 1 by 3, showing quotient of 0.3333....

...and so forth, ad infinitum.

So 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3( 1/3 ) = 1. Reasonably then, 0.333... + 0.333... + 0.333... = 3(0.333...) should also equal 1. But 3(0.333...) = 0.999.... Then 0.999... must equal 1.
