Is (1/infinity) the same as (-1/infinity)?

Okay, so: a=1/∞ -a=-1/∞ Let's suppose that they are indeed equal. Then: a=-a We now divide by a on both sides Either a is zero or a ≠-a We know that the limit of 1/X varying X is 0. So we conclude that 1/∞=0 which means that 1/∞=-1/∞
Nope we cannot conclude this.
"a=-a We now divide by a on both sides Either a is zero or a ≠-a We know that the limit of 1/X varying X is 0"
Nope, that is your uninferred jump, from the evidence stated above.
It ain't true.

I can see why you left, Dude.
But don't know why you even showed up.
Because 1/(1/0) is 0. (1/0) is greater than+/-infinity!

Infinity is very weird, it does not work like normal numbers. Infinity is the awnser to X+1=X.

@One_Zeroth just try not to think about infinity, it is very weird and confusing

For 1(1/infinity) which is infinity/1
While 1/(-1/infinity) is -infinity/1
Showing that they do indeed differ.
No one here has refuted this original statement.

Be my guest to.
Your thinking of infinity the complete wrong way. It’s a concept. It is higher than any quantity or countable number. So therefore there is no -infinity because it’s a word/concept and that wouldn’t make sense

I shouldn't bother humoring that BS whatsoever!
Just my opinion
It's not an "opinion." It is a mistake or a lie!
I mean I’m not gonna argue with you your the math guy
