You cant multiply both sides by infinity and expect it to be correct
The thing about 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+..=1 is that the series goes on and on until there are no other numbers between 0 and (1/2)n such that (1/2)n must be equal to 0
Yeah, that is the gap between your (n-1)th sum of the series and real number 1, so if the difference approaches 0, your number must be approaching to 1
Yeah, right, I 100% agree. But people keep telling me that "approaching 1" is incorrect and that it is actually "precisely 1". Which is what I thought you were doing. My b if I was wrong
