| Jumpin said: Infinite is a theoretical value and is therefore invalid. For example if you added 3 to infinite, you'd still get infinite. If you added 1000 to infinite, then you would still get infinite. If X = Infinite, you could say X + 3 = X + 1000, remove the X and you get 3 = 1000. |
You can't really do that. If you wanted to say X = infinity, and wanted to use +3 and +1000, you would have to do it like this:
X + 3 = Y + 1000
Where Y is also infinity, but not the same infinity. It really doesn't make much sense why anyone would want or need to use that example.
What I do know is that infinity values (differing ones) in math tends to be used to tell whether a series converges or diverges.
