SPP, which definition for 0.999... do you agree with?

And for the ones you don't agree with, would you agree that they are equal to 1?

  1. The number with the property that for all natural n ≠ 0, the nth digit past the decimal point is 9
  2. lim x →∞ 1 - 10^x
  3. lim x →∞ sum from n= to x (9/10^n)
  4. 1/3 * 3 = 0.333... * 3 = 0.999...

Edit: Fixed 3

At what digit is the 1 in 0.00..1?

If we were to define a relation D(a,n) which give you the value of the number a at the nth decimal place, for which singular n would D(0.00...1, n) = 1, or rather, for which n does D(0.00...1, n) ≠ 0

What does it mean for a number to be embedded in a set?

SPP tells us that the number 0.(9) is embedded in the set {0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ...} but what does that mean?

Can every number be embedded into a set?

What number is embedded into the set {0.99, 0.999, ...}?

How do you tell, from 2 given sets, whether the numbers they embedd are equal?
