the symble for infinity is not a qualitive ,fixed number thus cannot be a number?

Question

am i wrong in presuming a number is a definitivec known quanyative ammount
that in finity is at bestt an uncountable quantitive as with the fools saying infinity plus one
a number is real as the number of fingers ,..or units of fingers ,ifinite fingers can consist of infinate hands ,or infinite sub units but quantitive vairiable is allways able to be counted ,definitivly defined or it is not a number
if it is a unit of measure or counting proof it
how many is definitivly ,,..infinite
above what specific number..uncountable is not infinite.

Answer 1

Your correct infinity is not a number, hence why people who use infinity in their equations are only making a best guess, and no your not wrong a number is a know quantitive amount, but infinity is any number negative or positive.

But infinity also does not exist, its just the numbers are so so so big that it is beyond our ability to calculate them, everything has limits as to how we see our universe around us today.

So in answer to your question, infinity is a designation to an answer (in the sense of numbers) that we are unable to compute because it is so vast! And because we do not have the technological knowledge to find the answer.

Answer 2

If something is 'infinite' it means it has no boundaries; that is, it goes on forever. 'Uncountable' is a fair description too. In maths, infinity is often used in the context of limits - 'if i did this process to infinity (i.e. /forever/) what would happen?'. You can't call a number 'infinity' but you can refer to a quantity as being 'undefined'. So 1 divided by 0 isn't 'infinity' - it is 'an undefined quantity'.

Or you could say 'The solution of "1 divided by x" goes to infinity as x goes to 0'.

Although 'Infinity' certainly isn't a number, you can have different sizes of infinity (this is where it gets complicated). Probably not a good idea for me to go into this though... try looking up articles on Godel for more on this.

Also, there's a layman's guide to the concept of infinity by David Foster Wallace called 'Everything and More' that's pretty good.

Answer 3

Infinity relating to numbers is an undefinable
number. So it's a number without definition.

Answer 4

Infinity is a number which is too big to be counted on fingers. Just an end to numbers. It comes under real numbers but cannot be considered as one.

Answer 5

By definition, infinity cannot be specific so it cannot be a specific number

Answer 6

True Infinity is indeterminate

Answer 7

no my friend, uncountable is infinite! Infinity is as important to maths as 01.

Answer 8

infinity is a concept

Answer 9

ininity is NOT a NUMBER.
