I agree with Tormod.

| | | Re: does the product exist? I think infinite*0 is undefined. A line of any length has infinite points and each of those points have 0 length(One of Euclid's first defenitions) so 0*infinite can be anyhting. beause a line of 33 length or 23 length has infinite amount of points having zero length each.

Assume an equation, (X)*(Y) / (X)
Assume any value for Y.
Now let the value for X be an infinitesimal, e, and let e go to zero.
Obviously, the equation as a whole goes to zero/zero.
But the ratio always remains Y, no matter how small e gets.
Therefore, zero/zero is: Achtung! Verboten!

((inf)*0)/0=1.
How much is the correctness of this eqn? |

(inf)*0 = 0
(inf) = 0/0 ---> undefined, meaningless, math melt-down, unusable, without valid interpretation, having no logical existence, non-rational, inconceivable, philosophical null, wrong! BAD! BAD! BAD!

Multiplying anthing finite by 0 gives zero. Infinity times zero is an indeterminae expression and so is 0/0.
33*0 = 0 and
729*0 = 0
Therefore:
0/0 = 33 and
0/0 = 729
also 0/0 = 81427381
and whatever.....
