more than infinity percent grade.

Paradise Asked by paradise 3 months ago, 9 answers.

Hypothetical Question: Okay so you are taking a college class. In the first week of class you get 10 extra credit points. There have been no assignments so far, so there have been 0 points in the class so far. If you have 10 out of 0 points does that technically mean that you have More than an Infinity percent because it would take more than an infinite zeros to equal 10? I mean if there is 0 points possible and you have 10, 0 times an infinity would not equal 10 so would you have to have more than an infinite times 0 to equal to, meaning you could say you had more than an infinity percent in the class?

No! There have been 10 points given, for whatever reason, and you have 10 of those 10 points so you have 100 percent of the available points.

No you misunderstood the question. Those 10 points are extra credit. So if I had zero points out of zero, I would have 100 percent. But I have 10 points out of a possible zero points giving me more than infinity percent because even an infinite zeros added together will never make 10.

No because 0 times 10 does not equal 10. If you have 10 out of zero points. 10 is not 10 times 0. 10 is 10 times 1. So if the maximum points were 1 and you had 10 points then you would have 1000 % but since the maximum points is zero, even an infinte zeros multiplied together would not equal 10, so you must have more than an infinite percent. If the maximum amount of points was 1 and you had 10 you would have 1000 percent because 100 times 10 equals 1000. Hope that helped.

yes, but now the available points are not 100... it is 110 (or however much your extra credit counts for), this is really not an exisistential question!

A number divided by zero is not infinity, that is just a story they tell little kids in grade school to stop them asking too many questions. A number devided by zero is undefined, it is possible to obtain answers, but many different theories give many different answers. Just go with what your calculator says: 'Math[s] error'.

Answer this Question: " More than Infinity percent grade."
