Homework Statement
I am trying to grasp infinity.
Homework Equations
Please tell me which are false and which are true (the statements).
If false explain why, don't just say because so and so said so, please EXPLAIN the concept otherwise I will never learn or explain the true answer!
Can infinity odd or even? If not what state is it in? Or the fact that it is never simply a static number, it is dynamic. Whatever the highest number you can think of at the time, infinity is FOR YOU.
Infinity is relative to the observer correct?
So infinity does have a limit?
Limit of f(x)=infinity as x approaches infinity = the highest number relative to the observer
That statement is essentially true correct?
If not why?
Also I read in the textbook x/infinity = 0.
But if you think about it nothing diving by anything will ever equal zero. Even if you think of THE largest number in the world it will get EXTREMELY close to zero but never get to it.
So why does it say EQUAL to 0?
That is just bad math in my books, why is that proper?
Thank you! I am calc first year now and school just started so I'm having some questions about limits.
