If you are dividing by some miniscule negative number it approaches $$-{\mathtt{\infty}}$$

If you mult by some miniscule positive number then it approaches $${\mathtt{\infty}}$$

What do you mean? So you mean what number.... Can be divided by zero? $$\infty$$ Goes on for ever and ever.

$$\infty$$ = infinity

As "close" as you want.....[if you take calculus, this is one of its main tenets......we can always "approach" something very, very closely !!! ]
