Numbers, Numbers, Numbers...

 

Blosssom, I have no idea what you were trying to say in any of that.

 

 

 

Were you trying to say lim x + 1=undef as x ÃÆââââ¬Ã Ã¢ââ‰â¢ ÃÆâÃâ¹Ã¢â¬Â Ãâ¦Ã¾?

 

 

 

 

Well, my presentation got a bit messed

 

 

 

May I take this chance to myself clear - when the value of x in the function f(x) = x+1 gets closer to closer to infinite, the value of f(x) also gets closer to infinite

 

 

 

This is a valid result

 

 

 

However, I don't think the statement "ÃÆâÃâ¹Ã¢â¬Â Ãâ¦Ã¾+1=ÃÆâÃâ¹Ã¢â¬Â Ãâ¦Ã¾" is valid. A concept (ÃÆâÃâ¹Ã¢â¬Â Ãâ¦Ã¾) cannot be added up, unfortunately

 

 

 

Hope that your concern will be resolved

 

 

 

***I'm NOT an expert so if anyone here is an maths major in university, please come out and kindly solve our problems

 

 

 

Never fear, for I am a math major! (I suppose that gives me some knowledge on the topic)

 

 

 

The lim x+1 as x approaches infinity is infinity. Why would it not be? Picture the graph in your head. It clearly goes on forever, so it is not undefined. You can add 1 to infinity, but there isn't much point seeing as it is infinite. The lim x as x approaches infinity is inifinity, so x+C(a constant) will also aproach infinity.

 

 

 

I hope that clears things up.

Right :) But blosssom, you had the right idea by saying that you didn't think you could add a concept; "ÃÆâÃâ¹Ã¢â¬Â Ãâ¦Ã¾+1=ÃÆâÃâ¹Ã¢â¬Â Ãâ¦Ã¾" doesn't really make sense, but it makes sense to say that x+1 -> ÃÆâÃâ¹Ã¢â¬Â Ãâ¦Ã¾ as x->ÃÆâÃâ¹Ã¢â¬Â Ãâ¦Ã¾... and that's a more logical way to think about it, really :D

Aww, math.

Also, demonreape, never fear: you'll never see "the actual amount of numbers after the decimal it is." It has been proven that pi is an irrational number and thus can't be written as a fraction. (and any number that can be written in decimal form without tricks that rely on picking up some pattern - like, .01001000100001.... doesn't count - can be written as a fraction)
