Any specific number minus infinity is -∞

Note if you try to subtract infinity from infinity, the answer is undefined - because infinity is a "cardinality" rather than a specific number.

Is infinity equal to minus 1?

technically, infinity is not a value and therefore cannot be defined as minus 1. There is a notion that infinity does not actually exist but only a human myth applied to those values larger than the human can calculate eg the size of the universe. Quoting Hawkins phrase "the universe stretches on infinitely" shows that infinity is not minus one. Therefore, infinity is not equal to minus 1.

Why log 0 is infinite?

the definition of log N = X is 10 to the X power =N for log 0 we have 10 to the x power = 0 The solution for x is that x is very large (infinite) and negative, that is, minus infinity As N gets smaller and smaller, log N approaches minus infinity log 1 = 0 log .1 = -1 log .001 = -3 log .000001 = -6 log 0 = -infinity


What is infinity - 1?

This is a hard concept to understand, since infinity is not a definite number. It can keep carrying on forever, which makes it a surreal number. However, 1 can be measured by infinity as well, due to the never ending amount of decimal places, for example, 1 x 10^-6 [0.000001], 1 x 10^-12 [0.000000000001] and so on. So, since it is impossible to determine the boundary of infinity, for 1 and for infinity itself, it is most agreed that the result will still be infinity, for whatever sum or subtraction you do, excluding infinity - infinity (0).
