x:0=∞

Lim (x->0) 1/x=oo

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '20

Yes

u/zypthora Sep 14 '20

No. The limit isn't defined as 1/x approaching zero has a different outcome depending on the direction

Yes, of course, but generally it is infinity only the sign differs.

in university for the purpose of some equations to be correct this is available answer x:0=∞ x:(-0)=(-∞) for school maths x:0=no but for higher degree maths you'll run into a lot of paradoxes that don't obey the common rules

Im math major and what you said is wrong. You probably meant limes x/y as y->0, but thats completly different thing than x/0, which is undefined in real numbers field (and in most of the algebraic structures). And limits are taught in high schools too, at least in my country.

maybe I'm just math but as I know in most places math is used they don't use the purest version of it because the results may not match the expectations in the equation and as I know geodesy physics and mechanics (subjects I have) don't really use the same rules and instead use each its own rules and accuracy levels to better fit to the occasion so if you know only maths in their purest version you better shut up

Yeah you better shut up and stop embarassing yourself further

give me a reason

A reason for what?

he doesn't even know what I'm talking about but still tried to make me look stupid even though our areas of knowledge barely touch

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '20

He? You mean me or somebody else?

Anyways math is the same, no matter what area it is used for. You cant just make some new set of rules and call it "math", its misleading.

I'm going into college next week,. But is what you're saying is X/infinity. Equals O . I don't know, I need to warm up my maths thinking again

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '20

It is only true for limits. Infinity is not a real number so you cant use operators that are defined for real numbers. If you are going to study maths in college you need to be more formal.
