A cylinder can be considered a cone whose apex has moved to infinity.
It goes to "the point at infinity"
Firstly, infinity is not a number (at least in lower level mathematics). You must instead use the language of limits to describe infinity. Using limits, a function which diverges to infinity multiplied by a function which diverges to infinity has a product which also diverges to infinity. However, taking this product, and subtracting away a function which diverges to infinity is "of indeterminate form". It might converge to zero, it might be diverge to positive infinity, it might diverge to negative infinity, or it might converge to a constant. In order to figure out which one of these possibilities applies, you must get the indeterminate form into the form infinity divided by infinity or 0/0 and then apply L'Hospital's rule. Edit: Just a pet peeve of mine. It's L'Hôpital, not L'Hospital. Even textbooks don't spell it right.
Infinity is not a number; it is a concept. There is no highest number, because you can always add 1 to it and create a higher number. If this new number is the highest number, then add 1 again and it isn't. The process can never end, so infinity is used to describe the idea: a process that never ends.
Such boundless questions bring only finite remarks. What gets lost once one begins defining infinity? Could you define infinity? What infinite number of definitions could even hope to describe the vast and endless scope of infinity? What words could even wonder what infinite ways will go? Infinity has no place inside definitions that only seek to confine such unlimited abandon, such vastness that goes beyond vast, whose quantity remains hopelessly unquantifiable, whose timelessness remains indifferent to time certain in it's infinite belief that infinity will outlast time. The limitations of language, even mathematical equations, lets us know the sheer audacity of defining infinity. There are not enough words in the English language, nor any other, to give fair representation of infinity. What words could describe infinite ideas in a finite world? What words used to describe the finite could possibly give justice to the infinite? Words, words, words, in their endless pratter and never ending blather could never, ever, ever reach infinity with out infinity allowing words to do so. What infinite effort could ever hope to define infinity? How could anyone even dare? How can you define infinity. why cannt you just say boundless, unlimited, immeasurable, innumarable, not limited by number or person or something like that?
CoolFunny XDAnd...Smart! Pie = 3.14 The square root of infinity is infinity =|

Infinity does not equal anything because it is not a numerical entity. Infinity is a concept used to describe extremely high values, or the tendency of a function to output extremely large values as the input approaches a certain value. To get more informations on the concept of infinity, see "limits".
Infinity is a concept in mathematics that represents a value without bound. You cannot physically reach infinity because it is not a specific number or endpoint, but rather a theoretical concept used to describe something that is unbounded or limitless.

Infinity is not a number, but a concept representing something that is unbounded or limitless. As such, it does not have a specific number of digits. In mathematics, infinity is often used to describe a quantity that is larger than any finite number. Therefore, infinity cannot be quantified in terms of digits.
It goes to "the point at infinity"
Infinity is an abstract concept used to describe something that is endless or boundless.
Firstly, infinity is not a number (at least in lower level mathematics). You must instead use the language of limits to describe infinity. Using limits, a function which diverges to infinity multiplied by a function which diverges to infinity has a product which also diverges to infinity.
