Well, according to my calculations, I don't think it's possible ot get to point b. You get *very* close, by you never get there. Most calculators will tell you that you can get there, but I think that if you put this problem into a computer with an infinite amount of decimal spaces, you would find that you never got to B. You *almost* get there, but you don't. The reason I say almost is if that if I was trying to get to 10, I'd get 9.99999999999 on my calculator. But sooner or later, it would just say 10.
