Reply to comment by ThePhilosofyzr in There’s just as many numbers between 0 and 1 as there is from 0 to infinity. by Resinate1

No, the limit of x going to infinity of 2 is just 2.

2=2×1=2×X^0 , so as X goes to infinity, X^0 is still 1, so 2 is still 2 and doesn't change.

"the limit of 2 goes to infinity" doesn't make sense, 2 can't go to infinity, 2 is just 2.

We need to know what a limit is. It is the value that some variable approaches but never reaches if one of their parameters approaches a certain point. Example : When X approaches but never quite reaches 0, X^2 approaches but never quite reaches 0. It's the limit of x going to 0 for X^2 . The Limit. A limit implies the constant movement of some variable towards a certain point. So we NEED to talk about X, or a variable of any kind, if we want to calculate a limit. He just said the number 2, a constant number, not a variable, we can't work with it.
