  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 …

  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 …

  3. 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 …

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

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

  5. Can I subtract infinity from infinity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Apr 28, 2016 · Can this interpretation ("subtract one infinity from another infinite quantity, that is twice large as the previous infinity") help us with things like $\lim_ {n\to\infty} (1+x/n)^n,$ or is it …

  6. What is the result of - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    3 Infinity does not lead to contradiction, but we can not conceptualize ∞ ∞ as a number. The issue is similar to, what is + − × + ×, where − is the operator. The answer is undefined, because + + …

  7. When 0 is multiplied with infinity, what is the result?

    Because multiplying by infinity is the equivalent of dividing by 0. When you allow things like that in proofs you end up with nonsense like 1 = 0. Multiplying 0 by infinity is the equivalent of 0/0 …

  8. limits - Infinity divided by infinity - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 25, 2017 · When we use straightforward approach, we get $$ \frac {\infty+1} {\infty} = \frac {\infty} {\infty} $$ In the process of investigating a limit, we know that both the numerator and …

  9. trigonometry - Limit approaching infinity of sine function ...

    Nov 7, 2015 · Well, if both of them are equal at infinity, that would mean that two different non-supplementary values had the same sine value, which of course wouldn't make sense. I was …

  10. infinity - Are all infinities equal? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    A friend of mine was trying to explain to me how all infinities are equal. For example, they were saying that there are the same amount of numbers between $0$–$1$ as there are between …
