Certainly, infinity can be defined. It can't be perfectlydefined, but then, as Wittgenstein demonstrated some time ago, there are really no perfect definitions of anything. All language is approximate, even in mathematics (which is more precisely defined than most subjects). Infinity is defined as an endless quantity, greater than any number that can be counted.

Can infinity be defined?

Is infinity less than infinity true?

No. In mathematics, infinity is not strictly defined as a comparable entity, since it is not defined.Opinion: Even if it would be considered comparable, infinity would equal infinity and thus not be less than itself.


Who log zero is infinity?

Log zero is not defined, and if it were defined, it would be more likely to be minus infinity than infinity.


Is infinity divided by infinity 1?

Infinity is not a defined number. It describes, in math, the endlessness of numbers.


Is infinity zero?

Infinity cannot, by definition, be a defined number such as zero.


How can infinity be named infinity if it is undefinable?

In-finity or in-finite means not finite, not ending. It can certain be defined; there are different definitions for infinity. Better look up "infinity" in Wikipedia; because actually, infinity has different meanings in different contexts; even in math there are different meanings, depending on the context.


What is the value of zero times infinity?

Zero times infinity is defined as "indeterminate".


What is the square root of infinity?

Since infinity is not a defined number, it is impossible to have a square root of it. its infinity!


Is infinity defined?

No, infinity is not defined. It's a only imaginary number . Let suppose , 1000 os infinity we don't know. In future we know 1000 then 1001 will become infinity. I think you got your answer.


What is the biggest fraction?

Infinity-1/infinity * * * * * Infinity is not a number and division by infinity is not defined. Apart from which, if it were permitted, 1/infinity would be the smallest fraction! Just as there is no largest number, there is no biggest fraction.


What is sine infinity?

Sine does not converge but oscillates. As a result sine does not tend to a limit as its argument tends to infinity. So sine(infinity) is not defined.


What is the number after infinity?

Infinity is as big as you can get, so there is no number after it.There is also a "negative infinity" going the other way, so the total number of integers could be considered as two infinity (2 x ∞), or two ∞ plus 1 if you include zero. But usually infinity is defined to include the entire set of integers.* * * * *Except that infinity plus infinity, or even infinity times infinity is still infinity. However, infinity to the power of infinity is a higher level of infinity (Aleph1 rather than Aleph0). And if that does not do your head in, there is a lot more to the mathematics of infinities.
