Divide by zero. NOW.

Obviously infinity.

Horseshoe theory. Zero is unsigned. Likewise, infinity is unsigned.
>>
>>16806319
x divided by infinity is 0, though. it has a value.
>>
>>16806321
Yes (if x is finite, obviously). I'm saying that x divided by 0 is infinity by the same logic. And preëmpting the argument that infinity can be magically gifted a sign, to confuse the answer, even though zero doesn't have one.
>>
>Divide by zero. NOW.
Okay. 0^0=1. Since x^0=x/x, I just divided by zero.
>>
>>16806332
x^0 has nothing to do with x/x. It means that you're not doing any multiplication and that x has nothing whatsoever to do with the multiplication you're not doing.
>>
>>16806319
>infinity is unsigned
-t. Retard
>>
>>16806338
Why would something that isn't a number have a sign?
>>
>>16806343
-t. Never calculated a limit before.
>>
>>16806335
wrong
a^0 = a^(n-n) = a^n/a^n = 1
0/0 = 1
>>
>>16806347
I'm sorry your GED class taught you that. Do you also use ln for log?
>>
>>16806349
I agree that 0/0 = 1. The rest of what you wrote is gibberish headcanon.
>>
>>16806282
Okay, I arbitrarily define x/0 = 0, and I say there is a remainder of x.
>>
>>16806282
which zero? define its size.

nah, 0^0=1 is due to the empty product, not x^0=x/x

Literally the second sentence of your baby link.

Q. WHAT IF INFINITY AND ZERO ARE EFFECTIVELY THE SAME NUMBER? OR 'INFINITY' IS SIMPLY NEGATIVE ZERO?

Just because it is not a number it doesn't mean it can't have a sign.
>>
>>16807336
i
Has a sign.
We just don't know what it is because we haven't invented it yet..
>>
Positive infinity
You shouldn’t assume field operations are consistent outside of it
>>
>>16806350
What's the limit of 1/(x^2) as x approaches zero?
Now what's the limit of ln(x) as x approaches zero?
>>
(1/2) / (1/0)
=> (1/2) * (0/1)
=> 0/2
=> 0

I got everything and nothing here

>>16806353
its just literal definitions

>>16807481
makes sense to me, if you used a really small É™ > 0 you would get a really small number

Who cares? OP says divide by zero, not
>do a bunch of division by nonzero shit that gets closer and closer to zero and imagine what all the different answers aim at
>>
>>16807731
Who gives a fuck what OP wants?
My point is infinity is a signed value.
>>
>>16808136
>Who gives a fuck what OP wants?
Because that's how a thread works?
>My point is infinity is a signed value.
Infinity isn't a value. But if you're gonna pretend it is, in order to answer the question and not die, the projective line is more germane than some kiddy pool muh limits tripe from remedial analysis that doesn't give you an answer.

You must be new here.

>I model myself to the LCD of retards

>>16808173
Based. Me too.
>>
>>16806321
So infinity multiplied by zero can be any number you want it to be?
>>
>>16806335
>It means that you're not doing any multiplication and that x has nothing whatsoever to do with the multiplication
No, it means you are multiplying x by its own inverse x^0 = x^(1-1) = x^1 * x^-1 = x* 1/x = x/x.

>>16806353
>gibberish headcanon
No, he just kind of skipped a step and generalized it for n instead of 1 and you are easily confused, so you can't make sense of it.
>>
>>16807354
You used the sign, i can be +i or -i and since you didn't specify -, the + is implied by convention.
>>
>>16807316
and it has it in non-ordinary arithmetic, although every system that has floating point arithmetic has it so, it's actually boringly commonplace
>>
>>16807316
That is wrong though, in ordinary arithmetic the sign of 0 is arbitrary since +0=-0 since addition and subtraction by zero always results in the the exact same thing.

>>16806282
>Divide by zero. NOW.
Ok. 5/0.
>>
>>16808457
No, an exponent of 0 means you're not doing any multiplication. It doesn't mean you're multiplying 1 by x then dividing by x again. That's just silly, if not schizophrenically retarded.
Same with x*0. You're not adding x to 0 then subtracting x again, you're doing no addition at all.
>>
>>16808578
is that the reduced from?
