You know both of you are wrong right
Infinite is a stand in for a number that is really really really large, so it depends entirely on notation

No this isn’t jojo

#38592

there are different kinds of infinity
The infinity containing the set of all rational numbers is a lot bigger than the infinity containing the set of all integers, et cetera.

That’s why I said stand in

#38596

it’s deeper than that to mathematicians, sulit

#38597

How am I wrong if u use that definition of infinite tho?

#38598

Mathematically, is -0 technically accurate when multiplying a negative number and 0?

#38599

IIRC from analysis this is a common misconception (because it sounds correct) but not correct

unfortunately I don’t remember the proof of it

some infinities are bigger than other infinities, but not the ones you think

I mean, infinity is a stand in, yes.
But so is the value of X. And X isn’t infinity, because it has an actual hidden value.

Also

#38608

Don’t know what u mean

#38609

Negative and positive infinity can exist within the same set
-x is just -(x)
