minus-squarepaholg@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·1 year agoPssh, I’ll divide by zero all day. You just need -infinity=infinity (think a number circle instead of a number line), and you’re good. It’s 0/0 where the real crimes begin.
minus-squareblind3rdeye@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoYep. ∞ is infinitely big in the same way that 0 is infinitely small. -0 = 0 and -∞ = ∞. Opposite ends of the circle. (Or the Riemann sphere if you like complex numbers.)
minus-squareSchizoDenji@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoFor an easy approximation by this rule, just differentiate both numerator and denominator by the same variable and apply the limits again.

Use L’Hôpital. Manual in Russian.
