minus infinity is not really a number, but some call it an extended real number. It is an idea or a concept. If you head down the number lines going to the left, that is to say from -2 to -3 to -100 then to -10000 and keep going forever and ever (which is a very long time) you will get to negative infinity or minus infinity.

Value of log 0?

the value of log0 is -infinity which is minus of infinity


Is it true that if the slope of the line is positive the line is positive?

No.Unless the slope is zero, every line will extend from minus infinity to plus infinity. So part of it will be negative and part positive.No.Unless the slope is zero, every line will extend from minus infinity to plus infinity.

Does infinity minus infinity equal zero?

you would think it be would but infinity is not a number but a theory so not being a number is can not be used with equations symbols like plus, minus, times etc.


What is the highest number besides infinity?

Infinity is a concept, not a number. Even if it were considered such, infinity plus one is also infinity, and so infinity minus one is still infinity.


What is infinity divided by 5?

Infinity divided by any finite number is infinity. Here are the rules: 1. Infinity divided by a finite number is infinite (I / f = I); 2. Any finite number divided by infinity is a number infinitesimally larger than, but never equal to, zero (f / I = 1 / I); 3. Infinity divided by infinity is one (I / I = 1), or in fact any other positive number (I / I = and so on...); 4. Infinity multiplied by zero (no infinity) is zero (I * 0 = 0); 5. Infinity divided by a positive finite number is infinity (I / +f = I); 6. Infinity divided by a negative finite number is minus infinity (I / -f = -I); 7. Infinity divided by zero is not possible; 8. Infinity plus infinity is infinity (I + I = I); 9. Zero divided by infinity (nothing divided into infinity) equals zero (0 / I = 0); 10. Infinity plus a finite number is infinity (I + f = I); 11. Infinity minus a finite number is infinity (I - f = I); but 12. Infinity minus infinity, due to the nature of infinity, can be zero, infinity, or minus infinity (I - I = -I, 0, I).

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.
