Note: Assuming you are working with natural, integer, rational(fraction), or real numbers.

It doesn't. Infinity is not a number, even though, due to us mathematicians being lazy, we denote something = infinity. But we NEVER write tan 90 = infinity. But rather lim_x->(90degree) tan x = infinity. Meaning as x gets closer to 90 degree (even though degree is a horrible measurement for angle, we will use it), the value of tan x gets large faster and unbounded. tan x? It doesn't exist. Why? Because tan x is defined as (sin x / cos x). When x = 90 degree, cos x = 0, while sin x is positive around x = 90 degree. sin x / cos x := sinx x 1 / cos x, x = 90 degree, we get 1 x 1 / 0. But the definition for inverses does not include 0, meaning 1 / 0 does NOT exist. so, sadly, tan 90degree doesn't exist.

The best we can do is see what happens around x = 90degree for tan, as you go into Calculus, you will know the tool is called limits and derivatives. And you might also see the reason it is +infinity, but not -infinity. (tan x approaches -infinity as x approaches 180degree). WHat's more? You will learn a far better measurement for angle that you will stick with in Calculus.

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 0.9 repeating equal to 1?

Yes, 0.9999999.... repeating to infinity equals 1 sharp (not approximately).
