0.9 reoccurring is not equal to 0.98, or 0.999999999999998, or any other iteration thereof.
Is 1.000...0001 equal to one, cardinal?
It is.

That number is the difference between 0.999...999 and 0.999..998, which is not an "actual" difference.

I mean it is a "difference" but it's infinitely small.
Nope. 0.999... exists, and can be expressed like

This impossible 0.000...1 number that you just made up in your head does not. There is no difference, because it's impossible to make this imaginary 0.000...1. It's about as real a number as 0.000...

If I follow your logic (which I don't necessarily agree with), then I could just do 1-9*(1/9) and get 0.000...001

I can't tell if you're trolling or not :l

You're right, however scientifically speaking neither of those numbers exist.
.999... never reaches 1 so scientifically speaking it actually stops wherever the measurement you used isn't accurate enough for smaller incriments.
Also, .000...1 is going to be the same thing as zero scientifically, because there's no measurement that is ever going to detect it. .000...1 would then be 0.



None.

You're talking about significant figures. There aren't really significant figures in mathematics. >.>
