0 x 0 = Infinity 0/0 = Infinity 0/1 = infinity Quote: Why do we say 1/0 is undefined? Can't you call 1/0 infinity and -1/0 negative infinity? Why not? What is 0 * (1/0)? What is the quantity 0^0? Quote: Division by zero is an operation for which you cannot find an answer, so it is disallowed. You can understand why if you think about how division and multiplication are related. 12 divided by 6 is 2 because 6 times 2 is 12 12 divided by 0 is x would mean that 0 times x = 12 But no value would work for x because 0 times any number is 0. So division by zero doesn't work. Quote: Here's a little experiment for you to try on your calculator. Observe the output when you try the following set of calculations: 1/1 1/.1 1/.01 1/.001 1/.0001 1/.00001 etc... until your calculator can't go any further or you get tired. You should notice that the answers continue getting larger and larger. Quote: Infinity - Infinity = 0? 0 x 0 = Infinity? Zero isn't a number. Infinity isn't a number. Absolute Nothing x Abolute Nothing = Absolute Everything? Yes x Yes = No Someone gave me the argument that 0x0=infinity a few years back, and I can't find the original websource I found that almost convinced me of this fact.

I would say no. Logically I just don't see how nothing times nothing equals everything. Now 1 divided by 0 might eb infinity, sicne techncially 0 goes into 1 infinite times, that makes more sense. However I just realized anything to the 0 power is supposed to be 1. Therefore 0 is to. Now how that works I really don't know.
Keep in mind my brian probably isn't working very well right now, probably because it's 2:23 AM. OS I know I jumped aorund, and I'll go back and edit that answer i fnecessary tomorrow. Actually later today.

But as to the rest of her post, I'd have to do some research. I assume your PST since its 2:23 AM here as well xd

Logically I would say no, but logic has been known to deceive many before me. And yes, PST. Luckily there's no school tomorrow, or else I'd really be screwed xp

beaufleur eek Wow ... from mathematical problem solving to vomit/diarhea in 60 seconds .... xd Huh kind of shows you how sometimes a train of logic doesn't always work out....so math can be boiled down to diarrhea I guess... xd

I thought it wasn't so much that 0 is not a number as it was that 0 is the number representing the absence of magnitude.
Likewise, if infinity represents a magnitude so great as to be impractical to measure, or a representation of the unending possibility of increase within numbers, the (absence of magnitude)^2 cannot be infinity, because it implies that, from nothing, something can come.
It makes about as much sense as saying that 0x0=12.
