[QUOTE="sosuemetoo, post: 10386, member: 11"] [b]Some things w/ infinity[/b] Okay Iggy, as I've said before, it's been 20 years since I've had calc. , but I'll take a stab at this. By plugging in defined numbers, instead of infinity which is not defined, let's see if the formula works. We will define infinity temporarily with the number 4. "undef.=infinity x 0" 0 = 4 x 0 (okay this works so far) "Thus infinity/infinity=0" 4/4 = 1 (nope this does not work, and it never will because taking a number and dividing it by itself will always be equal to one) "and 0/0=infinity" 0/0 = 4 (this does not work either. Taking 0/0 will always be equal to 0. However when multiplying something by 0 it will always be equal to 0. I know that it would seem that it should be equal to infinity or any number, simply by flipping equations, but the acceptable answer for 0/0 is 0) "also infinity/0=0/infinity=undef." 4/0 = 0 (true) 0/4 = 0 (true) Going back to your original forumula "undef=infinity x 0" 0 = 4 x 0 The formula works, but the way you went about it was not sound. I'm sure someone with a better grasp at math can direct you better. "Mom" [/QUOTE]
