Before trying to be smart, you should understand what equality means.
(It is a lot simpler concept than infinity.)
Your formula will never, ever be equal to 2. It will always be slightly less, even if you apply it infinite times.
Mathematicians assume equality, because it is almost the same, but that doesn't mean it is really true.
I repeat myself - there is no number other than the 5 I listed, that always produces a constant after powering with it.
if you use proof it technically equals root 2. Doing root 2 ^ of root 2 it will equal 1.9 recurring which technically equals 2.
x = 1.9recurring
10x = 19.9(rec)
As I expected - you are wrong.

10x - x = 9x = 18
x therefore = 2
I don't understand why you keep writing = instead of ~=
You want people to understand infinity but you don't understand equality.
A claim is either true or not.
In math there is no such thing as 'true enough'
If I am taking a test and write 2 instead of 1.9(9), it will be considered a wrong answer.
well you shouldnt be.
Fuck it!
Your answer isn't correct so I will NOT send you 1 SBD.
Instead I'll send you 0.99 SBD.
That is very close, but is not the same.
I'm sorry, he is right I think: in mathematic, 0.99999.... indefinitely is Equals to 1 (that's a mathematic professor who told us that...)
I disagree. There is a special sign for 'almost equal' that is ~= .
If the two were equal there would be no need for dedicated sign for these cases
no, but it's not almost equal: 0.999999999999 indefinitely is TOTALY equal to 1
like, not almost x)
