The problem comes when you operate on an infinite scale. There's no way you can reach infinite. Infinite + 1 = Infinite. Going by that logic, yeah, the diference between 1 to 0'9999...·n Infinite is 0000000.... ·n Infinite + 1. And Infinite + 1 = infinite. So there's no difference between 1 and 0'99999....

1/0 = infinite :P


Then Infinite · 0 = 1?

Think about it.

It can be. infinite x 0 is an indeterminate form.


Precisely. Because of that, whatever operation you do involving Infinite will always equal Infinite. Infinite is indeterminated because you can't reach it. So Infinite + - · / anything will equal Infinite, except multiplying it to 0 because that would mean negate it, plus the result is zero.

Think of this too: Infinite - Infinite =/= 0

Before we keep going further...

f(x)=x/x:

f(x) =x^2/x:

They are different and have different values when x--> 0, yet both are 0/0 indeterminate forms. Same thing happens for the others.
