Best Answer

Infinity is used in a variety of manners. Because it means going on forever, domains and ranges use infinity. For example, the domain and range of the equation y=x are both (-infinity,infinity).

In calculus, infinity is commonly used in limits. This is in one of two ways; either the limit can approach infinity, or the number the limit is of can approach infinity.

Normal models in statistics also use infinity.

Can you use L'hopital's rule for functions?

Yes. The rule is used to find the limit of functions which are an indeterminate form; that is, the limit would involve either 0/0, infinity/infinity, 0 x infinity, 1 to the power of infinity, zero or infinity to the power of zero, or infinity minus infinity. So while it is not used on all functions, it is used for many.
