The mathematical community should accept the imaginary number of 1/inf as a constant of which will be called q.

For example, instead of saying that because of limits as x approaches infinite y is 0 you could instead say that if y = 7 that the result would be 7q. I assume this would have some applications in theoretical mathematics and physics.

This is intriguing. It seems as though you misclicked, though. This is not a mathematical community. If you want people to accept your arbitrary ideas then go somewhere where people care.

I would love if Roblox had a forum for mathematicians, although I remain for that wish to be fulfilled, and instead must consult the closet thing to a math community.

Hmm, I don't know your reasoning behind using q as the constant so I don't quite agree on that part. However, a constant with the value of one divided by infinity would be quite useful.

I don't have any ideas for fancy symbols right now. So I just used a strange letter.

Yes, it represents an infinitely small number with the value of 1/inf. But logic also states that 7/inf is larger than 6/inf

i have a feeling this post is just fluffy junk in order for this guy to sound smart.

i mean, it literally seems like he just finished a semester of pre-calc or something and is now coming up with ridiculous "theories".

if you are proposing the limit as x approaches infinity for some function like "1/x" is a constant 'q' instead of '0', you:

1. are ruining a lot of theorems in calculus.
2. don't know what a constant is.

A sum of an infinite series can converge on an integer.

im pretty sure he never mentioned sumations.

he's a moron regardless.

OP, you make no sense.


n/x for all n in R as x --> inf = 0. Always.

This also means any constant c * n/x for all n, c in R as x --> inf also = 0.
Always.


Plus, even if we do use some arbitrary variable q to hold 1/x as x --> inf, q = 0 anyway, and your proposed notation of 7q = 7*0 = 0 anyway (as x --> inf).

Plus, inf isn't even a number, and thus cannot be represented in equations, so the term 1/inf is complete nonsense from the get-go.

The correct mathematical term is that 1/infinite tends towards 0. If you think about it, it actually IS 0.

'But logic also states that 7/inf is larger than 6/inf'

wat.
Infinity is NaN. Not a Number.

infinity == infinity
n < infinity where n is not infinity.

All values that can possibly be written down are smaller than infinity. If you divide a number by infinity, you are not simply dividing a small number by a big number, you are dividing a small number by a concept that is bigger than anything else. Since it isn't really a number, you shouldn't really be able to divide by it, but if you did manage to, you would get 0 for absolutely ANY real number you put as the numerator.

So, infinity is not in the set of all real numbers?

Infinity isn't a number at all. It's a concept.
