Lou pose la question :
In the following problem, [(7)/(x+2)]-[(x+8)/(4-x^2)]+[(3x-2)/4-4x+x^2)]
what steps do you use to convert the middle portion to become +[(x+8)/(-4+x^2)]?
The answer to the problem is supposed to be (11x^2-18x+8)/(x+2)(x-2)^2

Ascribing a value to 1/infinity |
2009-11-19 |
|
Jack pose la question :
Hello, and, in advance, thanks for answering.
I came across the problem of ascribing a value to 1/∞ (one divided by infinity) recently, I heard many things:
that it is infinitesimally small (i.e. .0000000000...1 the most intuitive), that it is 0 (the most ludicrous of them
all in my mind), and that it is not definable (which makes the most sense, although is a bit of a let down).
I know that lim (x->∞) 1/x = 0 and this is often used as an argument for all three possibilities. So
what's the ruling on this? And, I know this question has already been answered, but for a little modification;
is there any way to prove the answer that seems to be the most prevalently used (not definable as ∞ is a concept)
with mathematical logic? Or is it just because of the definition of ∞?
