Yes And No It depends which infinity is bigger Yes there are different types of infinities Say one function was x While other were 2x Maybe some other were x² .it depends on which infinity are we talking about If the infinity above is bigger maybe it would turn out to be 0 into ♾️ form So we can't really say that this will be the only answer There are cases Sometimes the answer would be a finite riyal number Sometimes it'd be infinity large. For example X->♾️ (X³/3x) [2/x] Here in the left side we have infinity by infinity while right side tends to 0 We know that the final answer is gon be 2x/3 which indeed tends to infinity So it depends on situation

In this question we have 2 inderminant form so we cannot answer about it

firstly, you never get ∞/∞ anywhere. If the function is giving ∞ for some x, it is not defined at that point. ∞/∞ is an inderterminate form which occurs when we are studying limits. it can be removed, and the function approaches a real value, mostly. ∞/∞ * 0 can come in some limit, just solve it using the different methods we have. secondly, ∞ * 0 is not defined. it’s like multiplying a car and a pen. absurd. these things only appear during limits and can be handled according it’s true that there are multiple infinities. but note that x and x^2 approach the same infinity. the infinity of natural numbers is a different one and ‘smallest’ that we come across. it is like a countable infinity. next is the infinity of real numbers, then complex and so on to add a bit more context, each of these is like a power set of the previous one, so size of reals is 2^(size of naturals) hope this cleared up the confusion @Say_miracle_shadow

We may say number of natural numbers = number of whole numbers = number if integers= no. If rational numbers = number of real numbers = eleph null🫡🫡

rationals not the same size as reals

rationals and irrationals make up reals

Oh thank you for telling 😁

we compare sizes by bijections. i hope you know what that means ofc if you’re able to create a bijective map between two sets, they are same size like integers can be mapped to naturals. there is a way to map rationals as well, but with NxN you can’t create a bijective map between rationals and reals good discussion 😄

if the 0 is tends to 0 then the limit is still of the form of infinity/infinity if you want proof of the statement i gave it is simply the way of solving 0*infinity form

i.)Infinity is not a number, but a concept. So, just saying ♾️/♾️ does not make much sense. ii.)$\frac{a}{b}$ where a and b both are tending to infinity is an indeterminate form, which can tend to zero, infinity or some other constant, if a and b are related via some constraint (a and b must be related)

@myst1cboomer Can you give an example of this?

Lim x--->0 xlnx This is 0*infinity

convertible to 0/0 form, but yeah...
