it is not defined, since "infinity" is not a non-null real number (the definition domain for the inverse function is R*).
however the limit of a/x (with a real, not null) when x tends to infinity, is 0 (+ or -, depending on the sign of a and of the "infinity").

Infinity is a value all it's own. It's like asking "what is the value of one", except you can't really answer with something like .5 x 2 or 2-1. Infinity is a value that goes on forever. It always was and always will be. It never ends. Zero is a number a value of nothing.

Infinity is the place where two parallel lines meet.
Thus infinities value is not defined.

It is infinetly small, an iota, but not zero
. The only thing which can be divided by something else to produce zero, is in fact zero.

Yes, a/infinity is equal to zero as long as "a" is not equal to infinity itself. Then it is undefined.

It would only be zero if a=0. Otherwise it is infinitesimally small
