Remake of Infinity thread?

[ljw5021]

I wanted to comment and the thread is closed, so I wondered if other people felt the same way :P.

If you'll read through the thread, you'll notice one error in most everyones answer. They assume infinity is a number.

Infinity is a concept...a theory. It is not a number. This is why we need L'Hopital's rule to evaluate situations such as limits involving infinity over infinity, or zero over zero.

Even in situations such as infinity times zero, or one to the infinity power, you need to manipulate the current evaluation of the limit in order to work with it.

Oh well, reply if you have another situation or problem. I'm only going on Calc 2 knowledge so maybe I'm missing something.

I'm locking this because the last thing this thread needs is to be revived.

This will be locked soon. Also I believe your theory is correct. Infinity is not necessarily a number it is just a theory created as infinite if you can understand what I mean, heh.

You failed just aswell as me.

Re: Remake of Infinity thread?

Do NOT recreate locked threads. It is very clearly against the rules and warrants a three day ban.

What's worse? You recreated a thread that I said SHOULDN'T be revived. You know WHY I said it shouldn't be revived? Because people were saying the same things over and over again and not reading through the thread.

The very fact that you said "most everyone" suggested that infinity is a number shows that you didn't even read the thread. As does the fact that you brought up L'Hôpital's rule.

Thanks for that, really.
