  • You said 1/11 is greater than .9, but 1/11 is equal to .09

  • @joejacksonriley

    Still have to prove integral test.

  • and 1/11 is not what he says it is. he says 1/11 is 0.9, and hence when you add to that, its obviously gonna be a bigger number. but 1/11 is 0.09. wtf. This video sucks balls

  • @senthzam i realize that too......fuck.

  • basically, one note is made out of 16 notes

  • Oh my god just do integral. You get lnx |1->infinity

    =ln (infinity)

    QED

  • @senthzam 1/11 = 9/99 , 9/99 is in fact bigger than 9/100

  • you're a godsend!
