  1. What is infinity divided by infinity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Aug 11, 2012 · I know that $\infty/\infty$ is not generally defined. However, if we have 2 equal infinities divided by each other, would it be 1? if we have an infinity divided by another half-as-big infinity, for

  2. What exactly is infinity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Definition: Infinity refers to something without any limit, and is a concept relevant in a number of fields, predominantly mathematics and physics. The English word infinity derives from Latin infinitas, which …

  3. Why is $\\infty \\cdot 0$ not clearly equal to $0$?

    Mar 25, 2011 · You never get to the infinity by repeating this process. Limit means that you approach the infinity but never actually get to it because it's not a number and cannot be reached. The expression …

  4. One divided by Infinity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Similarly, the reals and the complex numbers each exclude infinity, so arithmetic isn't defined for it. You can extend those sets to include infinity - but then you have to extend the definition of the arithmetic …

  5. definition - Is infinity a number? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    For infinity, that doesn't work; under any reasonable interpretation, $1+\infty=2+\infty$, but $1\ne2$. So while for some purposes it is useful to treat infinity as if it were a number, it is important to remember …

  6. Types of infinity - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 18, 2012 · I understand that there are different types of infinity: one can (even intuitively) understand that the infinity of the reals is different from the infinity of the natural numbers. Or that the …

  7. I have learned that 1/0 is infinity, why isn't it minus infinity?

    This resolves your problem because it shows that $\frac {1} {\epsilon}$ will be positive infinity or infinite infinity depending on the sign of the original infinitesimal, while division by zero is still undefined. This …

  8. Reasons why division by zero is not infinity or it is infinity.

    Dec 2, 2020 · Infinity is not a number. Note that even though $\lim_ {x \to 0} 1/|x| = +\infty$, in common parlance, this limit does not exist, and writing that it equals $+\infty$ just gives a description of why …

  9. why does e raised to the power of negative infinity equal 0?

    Mar 16, 2015 · Why is it that e raised to the power of negative infinity would equal 0 instead of negative infinity? I am working on problems with regards to limits of integration, specifically improper integrals...

  10. calculus - infinity times infinitesimal - what happens? - Mathematics ...

    Apr 24, 2013 · Division of infinity by infinity as defined by these divergent geometric series will result in the limit (1) an infinity if the numerator has a smaller x, (2) an infinitesimal if the numerator has a …
