Is 0 times Infiniti an indeterminate form?
Yes. In such a case, manipulate the problem so that you get the indeterminate form 0/0 or infinity/infinity, then proceed with l'Hopital's Rule.
What is the value of zero times infinity?
Zero times infinity is defined as "indeterminate".
What is infinity times infinity minus 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.
Why is zero raised to zero an indeterminate form?
Because it does
What is infinity divided by 2000000000000000?
Infinity/2,000,000,000,000,000 is the simplest form.

What is one raised to infinity?
It's indeterminate.
What is the value of zero times infinity?
Zero times infinity is defined as "indeterminate".
What is infinite plus 2?
Infinity added to anything is infinity (with the exception of -infinity, as it is an indeterminate form). Thus, infinity + 2 = infinity.The problem is that (although it is easy to think of it this way) infinity is not a number. Infinity is, rather, the concept that something is boundless.Thus, "infinity + 2" is a category error. (This is (supposed to be) a sum in maths, and infinity is not a number.)

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.
Is infinity divided by infinity equal to infinity?
First off, infinity is not a number in conventional mathematics. In Calculus, you can work with infinity through the language of limits. It is important to note that when we use the shorthand: ∞/∞ What we are REALLY saying is "the limit of a function which diverges to infinity divided by the limit of a function which diverges to infinity". We are not actually saying "infinity divided by infinity". Now that THAT is out of the way, we can get to the answer. ∞/∞ is of indeterminate form, meaning that the division could converge to 0, it could converge to 1, it could converge to an arbitrary constant, or it could diverge to infinity. In order to figure out which of these cases is true, you need to apply L'Hospital's rule, by taking the derivative of the numerator and the denominator (separately).
Why is zero raised to zero an indeterminate form?

In standard form what is infinity?
infinity = '∞'
What is infinity divided by 2000000000000000?
Infinity/2,000,000,000,000,000 is the simplest form.
What number is more than infinity?
There is no number greater than infinity. Infinity is defined to be greater than any number, so there can not be two numbers, both infinity, that are different.However, when dealing with limits, one can approach a non-infinite value for a function involving infinity. Take, for example, 2x divided by x, when x is infinity. That value is indeterminate, because infinity divided by infinity is defined as indeterminate, and 2 times infinity is still infinity.But, if you look at the limit of 2x divided by x, as x approaches infinity, you do get a value, and that value is 2. This does not mean that 2x when x is infinity is twice infinity, it just means that, right before x becomes infinity, the ratio is right before 2.Infinity should not be thought of as a number, but rather as a direction. Whereas a number represents a specific quantity, infinity does not define given quantity. (If you started counting really fast for billions of years, you would never get to infinity.) There are, however, different "sizes of infinity." Aleph-null, for example, is the infinity that describes the size of the natural numbers (0,1,2,3,4....) The infinity that describes the size of the real numbers is much larger than aleph-null, for between any two natural numbers, there are infinite real numbers.Anyway, to improve upon the answer above, it is not meaningful to say "when x is infinity," because, as explained above, no number can "be" infinity. A number can approach infinity, that is to say, get larger and larger and larger, but it will never get there. Because infinity is not a number, there is no point in asking what number is more than infinity.
What is 1 raised to the power of infinity?
The answer is not 1. While it may seem like 1 raised to anything equals 1 (because 1x1=1, and 1x1x1=1, ad infinitum), this is actually not the case. The answer is that 1 raised to infinity is indeterminate. When dealing with infinity, you are talking about a non-finite number, so that essentially throws all rules about algebra out the window.
