Re: indeterminant form

Hi jacks;

Infinity is not a number. So when doing limits you can not say ∞ - ∞ = 0. You can do arithmetic with numbers not with concepts.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
