infinity divided by infinity?

OpenStudy (matimaticas):

donut

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge\frac{ \color{red}{\infty}}{\color{blue}{\infty}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

seriously, is it one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I want to know if it has a sum.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this question is wayyyyy to complicated, sorry can't answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

seriously infinity is not a number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is it then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is it called, like how 4 is an integer

OpenStudy (matimaticas):

imaginary

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Really? :O

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Smh. Just . . .

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

mmmm its depand on the Qn /state you have u can't use operation to infinity , only limits is the thing u can work with

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, so infinity is basically just what pi would be if it were a variable.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uncountable, incalculable, and annoying.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Most of the arithmetic and algebra that you have learned does not apply to infinity.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

for example f(x)= x-3 / x limit as x goes to infinity is 1

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Wio you use "learned" loosely c;

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

f(x)=x^2-4x/3 x^2 limit as x goes to infinity is 1/3 ect...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the question? You just added a ? to a phrase.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Read \(\lim\limits_{x\rightarrow\infty}f(x)\) "The limit of f(x) as x increases without bound." Notice how this does not imply that \(\infty\) is a place or a number. In this context, it is a meaning. "Increase without bound". There are geometries and processes where \(\infty\) IS actually a number or a place. This elementary limit is NOT one of those. It only provides a symbolic means to say "increases without bound".

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Read the range, \(x\in[3,\infty)\) "x is greater than or equal to 3" This implies that there is no right-hand limit to the range. It does NOT imply that the right-hand limit IS "infinity".

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

l'Hospital's rule is another matter. The notation \(\dfrac{\infty}{\infty}\) does NOT indicate a division problem with two values to be divided. It is a symbolic expression. It suggests the FORM of two limits. It signifies the FORM where f(x)/g(x) exists and both f(x) and g(x) increase without bound.

Wow. That was amazing.
