@saifoo.khan come here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@Ala123 it's almost -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok! cuz i try to graph this but -.999 doesn't sounds right :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try -1.00001

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1/3 = -0.333333..... 3*-1/3 = -0.999999....= 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but its not infinitely repeating in this case. I think it stops at -.9999. otherwise youd be right.
