Is infinity x 0 = -1?

 

[Lolsmith]

Wouldn't it equal 0...? :S <confused>

Anything multiplied by infinity is undefined.

My 100th post in my own thread

Well I was thinking of the x and y axis. Y axis has a gradient of infinity. X axis has a gradient of 0.

But they're perpendicular.
Interesting aye?

get a new hobby. infinity dosen't have an exact value

 

[ohexploitable]

infinity isn't a number and therefore can't be treated like one.

This, it's more like a philosophical thing.

 

[hscishard]

Its not a hobby, it just came to me when doing my maths hw.
I know infinity isn't a number. Its just interesting -.-

anything times 0 is 0. you could get a huge number... say... 9787483646435726765746752, times it by 0, and guess wat? the answers still going to be 0

OMG. I know where you guys are comming from. I know the facts.
But I found it interesting. Jeez.

Fine heres a question. Prove that the x axis is perpendicular to the y axis.


(No, i'm not saying infinity x 0 is -1!!!)

it would be pretty screwed up to have our x and y axis at 45 degrees... since maths is not retarded, hence 90 degrees?

I'll give that 2/2

Infinity isn't a number. Logically, infinity * 0 is 0 but you can never finish multiplying it so it's undefined.

 

[hscishard]

take any point on either line and solve it with trigonometry

Hmmm I think you're allowed to do that. Well thought.

 

[hscishard]

Don't we assume -1/infinity = 0?

This thread was created for pure interest. Not to be taken as facts. Please.

Does 0.9 repeated = 1?

It doesn't.

 

[hscishard]

Does 0.9 repeated = 1?

It doesn't.

I've heard of that one!

 

[hscishard]

well lim x-> infinity. of -1/x =0

Yea...infinity has helped us a lot. But its made a lot of confusion, huh?

My maths teacher once told me the axes of Decartes' original plane wasn't at 90 degrees.

Real numbers FTW!
