Where the hell is Uncle Al when you need him?

1. infinity + infinity = infinity

2. N x infinity = infinity

3. infinity x infinity = infinity

4. N / 0 DOES NOT = infinity; it equals "undefined".

5. Same goes for infinity / 0

6 N / infinity = 0 (not "infinitely small")

7. Mitch Raemsch = IDIOT!


Actually, since infinity is a concept as opposed to a number, you can't divide by infinity. You can take the limit of n/x as x approaches infinity and find that the limit is zero, but n/infinity does not equal zero.
