It's like infinity but you multiply by -1

>>11277167
I thought you can't multiply infinity

>>11277165
It exists in your mind, because you are thinking of it.

>>11277175
You can multiply anything times infinity, excluding 0.

>>11277165
a stick has two ends you know

>>11277165
Imagine a number line
Positive infinity is at one end, negative is at the other.
Why are you even on this board you frog posting retard?

>>11277187
>>11277190
hmmm

easy
integers = {-infinity,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,infinity}
fuck you high schooler

>>11277201
Also, if you can't grasp this you are retarded. It's much easier to write it mathematically than explaing it by words.

>>11277165
Give me any real number. Call it x. Then we know that -/infty < x

Infinity isn't a number, 'tis a concept. -infinity is like +infinity, but in the opposite direction on the number line.

Imagine a hole that is so deep we have no meaningful way to describe it's depth, that's negative infinity.
If you want to see why it's useful look at the negative side of the graph of 1/x as it approaches zero.

-inf
= -1/0
= 1/(-0)
= 1/0
= +inf

>>11277176
It's inconceivable.... you only think of the parts of it.... Calling attention to the wholeness outside of you, inside the mind of YHWH

>>11277300
>-inf = -1/0
nope

>>11277179
false

>>11277300
>>11277312

inf = -inf = i.inf = -i.inf

>>11277319

0 = -0 = i.0 = -i.0

>>11277313
>infinity isn't a number and blah blah blah
Just fuck off mathfag, the limit as x approaches infinity is the same for 2x as 200x.
