How can infinity be zero?

In terms of logarithms, the original value 0 corresponds to −∞, while the original infinite value corresponds to +∞. When we treat both possible values −∞ and +∞ as a single infinity, we thus treat the original values 0 and infinity as similar.

Does 0 to the infinity exist?

Zero raised to the power of infinity is an indeterminate form. Indeterminate form means that we cannot solve that form but we can solve it by using limits. Therefore zero raised to the power of infinity is neither zero nor infinity.

Is infinity 0 defined?

Infinity & undefined

In mathematics, anything divided by zero is not defined (and not infinity). But 'limit' (1/x); x->0 is well defined and is equal to infinity (it is the basic concept of limits).

Can we go beyond infinity?

Infinity is a concept, not a number or a fixed boundary, and thus it cannot be passed. Infinity is the idea or concept of something that has no end. Infinity is endless and therefore cannot be reached. The expressions “beyond infinity” or “to infinity and beyond" simply represent limitless possibilities.

How did 0 come into existence?

Zero's origins most likely date back to the “fertile crescent” of ancient Mesopotamia. Sumerian scribes used spaces to denote absences in number columns as early as 4,000 years ago, but the first recorded use of a zero-like symbol dates to sometime around the third century B.C. in ancient Babylon.

Is infinity divided by 1?

Infinity is not a real number and is only used as a representation of an extremely large real number. Dividing 1 by infinity is equal to zero. In general, any real number divided by infinity is zero, and the quotient of nonzero real numbers that divide infinity is infinity.

Is infinity 1 possible?

Yet even this relatively modest version of infinity has many bizarre properties, including being so vast that it remains the same, no matter how big a number is added to it (including another infinity). So infinity plus one is still infinity.

Is infinity minus 1 infinity?

Negative infinity means that it gets arbitrarily smaller than any number you can give. so 1 - infinity = -infinity and 1 + infinity = + infinity makes sense only when looked as in this sense.

Who invented infinity?

Mathematical infinities. The ancient Greeks expressed infinity by the word apeiron, which had connotations of being unbounded, indefinite, undefined, and formless. One of the earliest appearances of infinity in mathematics regards the ratio between the diagonal and the side of a square.

Google is the word that is more common to us now, and so it is sometimes mistakenly used as a noun to refer to the number 10100. That number is a googol, so named by Milton Sirotta, the nephew of the American mathematician Edward Kasner, who was working with large numbers like 10100.
