Infinity is NOT a number, there is no FORMULA for it. Infinity cannot exist in any sets where it is defined. Infinities are different even for different sets!
The infinity in natural numbers set {1, 2, 3, ...}, integers {0, 1, -1, 2, -1,....}, rational numbers {1/2, -1, 4/5,....}, real {pi, sqrt(2), 1, 4/5, ....}, the complex numbers {1, 5 +3i, ...} and many other infinite fields, rings, groups have their infinity defined as their "cardinality", or the abstract sense, the "size" of it. It quite obvious the infinity of natural numbers is much smaller than that of the real.
It is said that the "cardinality" of the set of all "infinities" is the largest of all infinities. (Equal to the number of all possible sets).
Why can't infinity be a number? Well, to be a "number" we must be able to add it together, and ta special element "0" such that "0" + a for any a is still a (or multiply, with element "1" instead, needed concept for concept of number, or number axioms). It's easy to prove that this element is UNIQUE, (or the equivalent class of it is unique, a and b are in the same equivalent class means a = b in the set)
Now with our understanding and definition of infinity, "infinity" != 0, or that means there is no element in this set, we can't define operations within the empty set. But also, "infinity" + 1 = "infinity". We just said 0 is unique. Contradiction.
So, no infinity is NOT a number.
Please note, there is a difference between infinity as an ELEMENT then infinity as a NUMBER. An element of a set does not require to be part of the operation, this set will not be a well defined number set.

What is the range of the equation y equals x - 4 - 12?
-8
What is the domain and range of y equals 2x plus 8?
The domain and range of the equation y = 2x+8 are both [-infinity,+infinity].
How and where is infinity used?
Infinity is used in a variety of manners. Because it means going on forever, domains and ranges use infinity. For example, the domain and range of the equation y=x are both (-infinity,infinity). In calculus, infinity is commonly used in limits. This is in one of two ways; either the limit can approach infinity, or the number the limit is of can approach infinity. Normal models in statistics also use infinity.
What is the GCF of infinity and E equals mc2?
Neither infinity nor "E = mc2" are numbers. One is a concept and the other is an equation. They can have no common factors.
Is the parabola with an equation of x equals y2 is a function?
Yes, but x would be a function of y, not the other (usual) way round. The domain of the function would be y in (-infinity, +infinity) and the range x in [0, +infinity).
What is 111 plus infinity?
Infinity is not actually a number, to you can't do this equation.
What is the range of the equation y equals x - 4 - 12?
-8
What is the maximum point for the equation y equals X squared?
There is no maximum because y tends to + infinity as x tends to + or - infinity.
What is the domain and range of y equals 2x plus 8?
The domain and range of the equation y = 2x+8 are both [-infinity,+infinity].

Which equation does not show how to find 25 percent of 1600?
Any equation which does not require you to divide by four, or its equivalent. For example 1600 divided by 5. There is an infinity of such equations.
What is the most advanced math equation?
There is no "most advanced" math equation, just as you can never count to "infinity".The equation eipi + 1 = 0is certainly an amazing relationship.(e is 2.7828 ... , i is the solution to i2 = -1, and pi is 3.14159 ...)
What is the answer to 1 divided by 0?
Undefined: You cannot divide by zero
Will 2y plus 3 equals 4 graph a horizontal equation?
2Y + 3 = 4 2Y = 4 - 3 Y = 2 - 3/2 Y = 4/2 - 3/2 Y = 1/2 ---------------------- This is a horizontal equation where a line runs from negative infinity to positive infinity at the above.
What is an equation that you can use in which x represents 2 and y represents 3?
If there is one equation that can be solved, then (x-2)2 + (y-3)2 = 0 For an equation such as x+y-5 = 0 you will have an infinity of solutions unless you add another, independent equation and solve them simultaneously.
