Question

According to the tan graph , 1/0 = infinity , would that mean 0 * infinity = 1 ??

Answer 1

good q :) honestly i dont have perfect explanation, but let me ask you a q...
Is the slope of a vertical line infinity or undefined ?

Answer 2

no i don't think so...

Answer 3

Can u say whats the tan 90 ?
We cant say , its vertical and in another language a line make 90 dragee angle with X s is a Vertical line :)
Just this :)
Got it ?

Answer 4

"infinity" is nothing! so i think we can't say that...

Answer 5

But I think Infinity is a thing and we can say that but we cant find it :)

Answer 6

if infinity is a thing so 0 * infinity is 0 not 1 :)

Answer 7

so it seems not correct

Answer 8

@ganeshie8 , isn't the tan graph ever closing in on the y-axis but never quite reaching ? Wouldn't that mean in fact that it is infinity ?

Answer 9

Yes !
Would mean :)

Answer 10

So... , wouldn't that make 0* infinity = 1 , arithmetically

Answer 11

Yep !

Answer 12

@E.ali SO you're saying that if we keep adding zero (nothing) , we eventually reach 1?

Answer 13

No !
I just said we can say Infinity is a think that we didnt know that :)

Answer 14

if u keep adding 0, you may run into debt becoz of ever increasing inflation :)

Answer 15

actually i like how u put it above :-

... isn't the tan graph ever closing in on the y-axis but never quite reaching ? Wouldn't that mean in fact that it is infinity ?

Answer 16

we observe that, tan(90) is approaching y-axis, you mean it is ever increasing/ ever decreasing eh ? (+infinity or - infinity)

Answer 17

guys , gusy! remember! "infinity" is not a thing that follows these rules and laws!

Answer 18

yes infinity is not an useful thing, or not even a thing in algebra
but its a very useful concept (ok i agree its not a thing :)) in calculus

Answer 19

in algebra+trig, \(\large \frac{1}{0} = UNDEFINED\)

Answer 20

In calculus !

Answer 21

in calculus, \(\large as\ x-> 0, \frac{1}{x} -> \infty\)
as something approaches something, something else happens... thats how it works wid infty in calculus

Answer 22

ur actual q,

1/0 = infinity , would that mean 0 * infinity = 1

the moment u see 1/0, just shout UNDEFINED and stop. dont mess wid it.

Answer 23

\[
x\to 0\implies \left|\frac 1x \right|\to \infty
\]You can't leave out the absolute value bars.

Answer 24

yup they're mandatory

Answer 25

HAHAHAA , this was a lot of fun , guys, I just wanted to see how long it would take to reach the UNDEFINED part :D , @ganeshie8 , u da MAN ,

THANKS a lot @wio , @E.ali , @PFEH.1999

Answer 26

lol i sensed it, u asked d q purposefully to stir some discussion nice :)

Answer 27

The problem with the question is that 1/0 is not actually infiniti
It is approaching infiniti
And on top of that Infiniti is JUST AN IDEA and not a specific number or a quantity.

1/0 = IDEA :D
LOL :')
