Author Topic: Dang it, Geometry shouldn't involve this.  (Read 3020 times)

Well, we were learning about Triangles today :3

Only the Simple SSA, SAS, AAS, etc...

When my geometry teacher jumps into universal theories and science...
 Then something about Infinite comes up.

So we discuss Infinite theories and stuff, when we asks me a question.

Teacher: So Michael, How many numbers Can you fit between 0 and 1?
Me: Uhhh... Infinite?
Teacher: And how many numbers can you fit between 1 and 2?
Me: Infinite.
Teacher:  So if that is true, can this be possible, and if so, what would it equal?
 (Teacher Writes Infinite X 2 on the overhead)
Me: Uhhh...
Other student: Wouldnt it be Infinite Squared?
Teacher: So then what would Inf.2 be?
(Students lose concentration and start to talk about it)
Me: Okay, Mr. Oliver, my brain is hurting now.

It would be infinity but it would be weighted more than a single infinity.

This comes into effect if say you are getting the limit of x+2/x^4 as x approaches infinity. Because the bottom is weighted more, the number is divided infinantly and the answer approaches 0.
If the exponential were on the top, f(x) would approach infinity.


Hahaha you're having trouble with postulates? You're going to get buried, have fun!

A squared = A^A
A times two = A*2

A^A =/= A*2

We arn't haveing trouble, I just posted this to get down to the infinite discussion.

It can't Approach infinity unless it was Unlimited. Nothing comes near infinity, It's either infinity or it isnt.


i prefer it when all the shapes shoot at you and theres circles and crazy diamond shapes that dodge your shots

Yeah but it's geometry, mind forgets really begin in Calculus. They get worse in the higher levels of Calc courses too.

Good going man, Meekl's brain is now borked.

Uh... what the hell are you trying to say? Do you even know what you are talking about?

A squared = A^A
A times two = A*2

A^A =/= A*2
1     ∞      2
|----------|

2     ∞      3
|----------|

∞*∞ = ∞2


Besides, The kid isn't the smartest in the class, but our teacher was still trying to prove something.

I'm saying that nothing can come near infinity unless it is infinity.

If infinity is everlasting, no number can even come near it.

I thought infinity was a constant, no matter what you do to it, it is still infinity. (Besides maybe dividing by itself or dividing it by zero) I am probably wrong though.
