Is the square root of infinity still infinity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or rather, it is undefined, or indeterminate

OpenStudy (amistre64):

there are different sizes of infinity ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you take the square root of a very very very big number , you will still have a very very very big number , now if you make the number even bigger , the square root will also get bigger , now imagine what will happen if this number is infinite..

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\lim_{n\to \infty}\sqrt{n} = \infty \] yes

|dw:1330637669831:dw| so I'm doing a definite integral, and 2 times square root of infinity is part of my answer; does that mean it diverges?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a definite integral is the limit as you approach a bad value ...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if the infinity is in a denominator it goes to 0; if its not under the bar, it goes to infinity
