What is a kind of argument that purports to prove a thesis is defective because it generates an infinite series when such series exists or the thesis lacks justification?

"Infinite Regress: a philosophical kind of argument purporting to show that a thesis is defective because it generates an infinite series when either no such series exists or, were it to exist, the thesis would lack the role( I.E of justification) that it is supposed to play.

Why you restrict the argument of a complex number between -pi and pi?
Because the trigonometric functions (sine and cosine) are periodic, with period 2*pi. If the argument were not restricted, you would have an infinite number of answers. You could, of course, restrict the argument to any interval of size 2*pi: 3.5pi to 5.5pi, for example.

What is infinite x infinite?
the answer is infinite to the second power
Name one thing that is infinite?
How about three things that are infinite. Counted number are infinite. The complete statement of PI is infinite. The result of 1 divided by 3 is infinite.
Does a sum of infinite ones equal a sum of infinite twos?
Yes, the sum of infinite ones equal the sum of infinite twos.
Why you restrict the argument of a complex number between -pi and pi?
Because the trigonometric functions (sine and cosine) are periodic, with period 2*pi. If the argument were not restricted, you would have an infinite number of answers. You could, of course, restrict the argument to any interval of size 2*pi: 3.5pi to 5.5pi, for example.
In the game of chess is there an infinite number of moves or a finite number of moves?
There's an infinite number of moves. Although there's a limited number of moves a play can make at the start of the game (There are only 10 possible choices for each player's first move) - each move generates numerous subsequent possibilities.
What are the pros and cons of the cosmological argument?
Strengths of the argumentThe strengths of the Cosmological Argument lie in both its simplicity and easily comprehensible concept that there cannot be an infinite number of causes to an event. Some arguments for God's existence require more thought and training in terms and concepts, but this argument is basic and simple. Also, it is perfectly logical to assert that objects do not bring themselves into existence and must, therefore, have causes. Weaknesses of the argumentOne of the weaknesses of the argument is that if all things need a cause to exist, then God Himself must also, by definition, need a cause to exist. But this only pushes causation back and implies that there must be an infinite number of causes, which cannot be. Also, by definition, God is uncaused.

What is the difference between natural infinite and real infinite set?
A Natural infinite set refers to one whose members can be put into 1-to-1 correspondence with the natural numbers, while a real infinite set is one whose members can be put into 1-to-1 correspondence with the real numbers. Although both sets are infinite, they are not of the same cardinality (size).The cardinality of the natural infinite set is denoted by À0 or Aleph-null. The cardinality of the real infinite set is 2 to the power À0, which is denoted by C. (Actually Aleph looks like an N with wriggly lines but this browser is incapable of displaying it.)For more on the cardinality of infinite sets, see the related links. Georg Cantor's diagonal argument is exquisite - simple but immensely powerful. If you want to get a feel for transfinite arithmetic - read about Hilbert's Hotel paradox.
What is infinite x infinite?
the answer is infinite to the second power
How do you write infinite?
infinite
Which is the greatest whole?
It does not exist.Proof: Indeed, suppose that this number exists, and denote it by X.Then X+1 is also a whole number (by definition of the whole numbers). So X cannot be the greatest number since X+1 is even greater, which contradicts the assumption of the first line. The same argument follows for X+1 (compared to X+2), and so on.Consequently, there is not a greatest whole number.Remark: One may consider that infinite is the greatest whole number (without such an above contradiction, since infinite+1=infinite), however infinite is not defined to be a whole number.
How many even numbers are there?
It is infinite. Infinite since numbers are infinite.
How do you convert Infinite numbers to fractions?
In general, you cannot. An infinite number divided by any non-zero number is still infinite. An infinite number divided by another infinite number may or may not be infinite.
Name one thing that is infinite?
How about three things that are infinite. Counted number are infinite. The complete statement of PI is infinite. The result of 1 divided by 3 is infinite.
What is the formula for base and power in java program?
powpublic static double pow(double a, double b) Returns the value of the first argument raised to the power of the second argument. Special cases: If the second argument is positive or negative zero, then the result is 1.0.If the second argument is 1.0, then the result is the same as the first argument.If the second argument is NaN, then the result is NaN.If the first argument is NaN and the second argument is nonzero, then the result is NaN.If the absolute value of the first argument is greater than 1 and the second argument is positive infinity, orthe absolute value of the first argument is less than 1 and the second argument is negative infinity,then the result is positive infinity.If the absolute value of the first argument is greater than 1 and the second argument is negative infinity, orthe absolute value of the first argument is less than 1 and the second argument is positive infinity,then the result is positive zero.If the absolute value of the first argument equals 1 and the second argument is infinite, then the result is NaN.If the first argument is positive zero and the second argument is greater than zero, orthe first argument is positive infinity and the second argument is less than zero,then the result is positive zero.If the first argument is positive zero and the second argument is less than zero, orthe first argument is positive infinity and the second argument is greater than zero,then the result is positive infinity.If the first argument is negative zero and the second argument is greater than zero but not a finite odd integer, orthe first argument is negative infinity and the second argument is less than zero but not a finite odd integer,then the result is positive zero.If the first argument is negative zero and the second argument is a positive finite odd integer, orthe first argument is negative infinity and the second argument is a negative finite odd integer,then the result is negative zero.If the first argument is negative zero and the second argument is less than zero but not a finite odd integer, orthe first argument is negative infinity and the second argument is greater than zero but not a finite odd integer,then the result is positive infinity.If the first argument is negative zero and the second argument is a negative finite odd integer, orthe first argument is negative infinity and the second argument is a positive finite odd integer,then the result is negative infinity.If the first argument is finite and less than zero if the second argument is a finite even integer, the result is equal to the result of raising the absolute value of the first argument to the power of the second argumentif the second argument is a finite odd integer, the result is equal to the negative of the result of raising the absolute value of the first argument to the power of the second argumentif the second argument is finite and not an integer, then the result is NaN.If both arguments are integers, then the result is exactly equal to the mathematical result of raising the first argument to the power of the second argument if that result can in fact be represented exactly as a double value.(In the foregoing descriptions, a floating-point value is considered to be an integer if and only if it is finite and a fixed point of the method ceil or, equivalently, a fixed point of the method floor. A value is a fixed point of a one-argument method if and only if the result of applying the method to the value is equal to the value.)A result must be within 1 ulp of the correctly rounded result. Results must be semi-monotonic.Parameters:a - the base.b - the exponent.Returns:the value ab.Taken from the Java api.
