If you believe Douglas Adams, any number divided by zero equals infinity.

A sign that I won't be following your posts. Which is a shame, because apparently we have 95% compatability!

Thou shalt not divide by zero! If I remember correctly though, if you use limits, and zero not being zero, but rather some tiny number approaching zero, you will get an area under the curve that's not quite touching zero coordinate line, and becomes an infintely large number. Maths geeks, please correct me if I am wrong!

- 5 ÷ 1 = 5
- 5 ÷ . 1 = 50
- 5 ÷ . 01 = 500
- 5 ÷ . 001 = 5000
- 5 ÷ . 0001 = 50000
- 5 ÷ . 00001 = 50000
As the limit of this process goes to infinite the result goes to infinity. So, at -0 you get infinity. At exactly 0 you get undefined since division is defined not to work there.

Whatever the answer if I agree with your comments I gain at least another 20 points to the next level.
