Yeah it's 1 but that's not a right angle axis like inherently so...

infinity are classified by growth, as they are usually represented by summation
something like cubic infinity is not the same as linear infinity
this is trivial

he is correct that it is trivial, and that the most common context in which such terms crop up are sequences and series
[math]n-(1+n)[/math] can be treated as two divergent sequences whose difference converges to 1.

Subtraction (\(\infty - \infty\)): This is indeterminate. Depending on the context (e.g., in calculus limits), it could be zero, a specific number, or infinity itself.

>>16930724
also, they don't matter. if OP does not specify that he wants stuff treated in some trans-mathematical shit, it's classical analysis by default. there are always autists who batge in and start explaining why 0.(9) does not equal 1 in some alternative analysis, but if OP used the classical notation, then classical analysis it is, and anyone bringing up how in fancy alternative universes this and that is not like in the real one is a raging autist with a need to show of but too clumsy to do it correctly.

>>16930728
yup.

>classical analysis
Pretty sure there's nothing classical about infinity - infinity. That's not even a number.
>>
isn't infinity minus infinity basically what summation is

like dude lmao hear me out

you are taking the series and summarizing it, which is removing the infinite expansion from it and representing it with an abstraction that contains the infinity, which we call a limit

when you limit something

you are like, taking the "infinite"ness out of a sequence of numbers, and replacing it with a "finite"ness of some kind that allows for the entire series to be completely represented without requiring you to go through every single step of the index that summates it (as that would just be undergoing the reverse process, like "unzipping" an archived file you just compressed to save space)

think of it as intentionally introducing "lossiness" to an otherwise "perfect" natural structure in order to make it measurable - like, we have to transform the sublime reality of direct immesurable experience into a non-real measurable abstraction that we can use for computation that approximates reality by way of universal symmetries, probability fields, and fundamental conservation laws

or some shizzle idk man
>>
>>16930728
god your retarded, idk wtf you even mean by "classical", but "classically" they went to great lengths to avoid infinities entirely, "classically" infinity is just a casual way of saying unbounded, and unbounded minus unbounded is a nonsensical statement
>>
It's shrimple really

Unbounded "minus" unbounded is just kind of a retarded way of saying "the unboundedness is removed", yes it is nonsensical but we can still assume what it means and still refute it even then, because it's trivial.

Hence why infinity "minus" infinity is 1, not 0, and OP is an idiot, and this thread is just attention seeking bullshit that some LLM probably cooked up for a stoner.

>>16930745
he phrased it awkwardly but it is obvious he means analysis at a level that is usually taught to first semesters in STEM, and that some may have had in highschool. It hardly gets any more canonical than series, sequences and limits. Utterly basic shit.
>>
>>16930672
inf^0 = 1
inf^x = inf (x > 0)
inf^y = 0 (y < 0)
x^inf = inf (x>1 | x<-1)
y^inf = 0 (x<1 & x>-1)
1^inf = undefined
inf/0 = inf
x/0 = inf (x > 0)
y/0 = -inf (y < 0)
0/0 = undefined

Limits explicitly were created to avoid dealing with infinities. Did you stop learning math in 4th grade?

Yes and no. Would anyone actually ever write [math]\infty-\infty[/math]? Hell no. But, given that faggots never attach any definition to this practically meaningless on it own symbol it is only natural for people to go for something along those lines. I mean, for example, do you remember the proof for the Riemann rearrangement theorem? The intuition behind it is very straightforward, if a series converges but not absolutely, then it can be interpreted as two divergent series that are interspersed: One that approaches plus infinity and only has nonnegative terms, and one that has only negative terms and conversely approaches negative infinity. The remainder of the proof is then cleverly drawing from either pool to always steer the partial sum of the permuted series toward the desired limit. Didactically that is exactly the kind of context where you talk about "infinities", and the degree of sloppiness depends on your audience. Besides, a lot of the time people do write stuff like [math]\lim_{n\to\infty} a_n = \infty[/math] to suggest that the sequence grows without bound. Explicit "arithmetic" with the [math]\infty[/math] is avoided because is makes no sense in this context, but some intuition does sloppily suggest things adjacent to it. The "well yes, but actually no" meme actually encapsulates it sensibly.

Did you follow all that?

You need to define WHICH infinity you are representing. Infinities come in many different sizes, but for some reason they all use the same symbol.
>>
>>16930952
>definition to this practically meaningless on it own symbol
Infinity is an unbounded quantity greater than every real number.

"extend the arithmetic on K to P1(K) by the formulas

toy model, since 1/0 can also be -inf

Double the weight of the operators and see what inf works out to cap at

>>16934095
In that model -inf = +inf, retard

>toy model
one of the many use cases of the symbol. You can also forget about ordering
when you require infinities related to the complex plane.
>>
>>16934201
>-inf = +inf
lol, definitely a toy

>>16934418
do you happen to object to -0 = +0 as well?
>>
>>16930651
(2 + 4 + 6 + ...) - (1 + 2 + 3 + ...) = (1 + 2 + 3 + ...)

>>16930542
Infinity is not a number, subtraction is undefined. Or made up for whatever purpose at hand.
>>
>>16935152
Depends on the circumstances and context, but mostly no that is true.
