Re: 2=0
If you are adding like this,
.5 + .5 + .5 + .5 = 2 Etc, then you are really doing a Sigma(2/n) for n times as n approaches infinity. Using the distributive property this sigma expression can be written: n * (2 / n ) = 2 For all nonzero real numbers, this expression equals 2. At n = 0, there's a hole in the graph, yet its limit is 2. The key about infinity and zero is that they are not well-defined. It depends HOW you're reaching infinity or zero, not only the fact that you are. |
