@Thanh_Khuong 🤯🤔

[@TheFinalRevelation2]

Sorry but I was looking for a new mic for new situation when I got your notification. I started watching and realized how clear your audio was. Can you kindly tell me the exact mic you are using ? I hope you don't mind.

[@God-ld6ll]

well there are ♾️ reasons why i guess.

[@ayushmishra6077]

good one

[@tastyfood2020]

Too be honest.. You can't subtract them If you do it still will be infinity...or Normal number

[@dimid_]

Hi Bri, ive been a fan of your channel for a little over two years now. I showed one of your proofs in my further maths class today and even my teacher was impressed, keep up the good work sir 😎

[@ShubhGG12]

Loved the new editing style

[@benbooth2783]

Because infinite isn't a number. Trying to subtract infinite from infinite makes about as much sense as subtracting red from blue.

[@themechrowarrior8514]

Yes, I already understood that there is many infinity's The question was, what you will get if you will subtract infinity from an "equal" infinity, and as I can see, it's pretty much 0.

[@PRIYANSH_SUTHAR]

Basically if you don't know exactly how many things you have, then you cannot take away any number of things from them to get something that you know about.

[@BhaijaanBhajrang]

Lots of love from India sir ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ZainebFatima-z9v]

Just rotate it 90° it'll become a number ez

[@deleted_handle]

270°

[@MullaKejruddin701]

maths is haram. why are you watching this as a muslim girl?

[@sucroseboy4940]

@@deleted_handleI fail to understand this unexplained postulate. Please elaborate…

[@sonofasalesman]

L'Hopital's Rule mentioned 📣

[@scottleung9587]

Interesting - although the discussion about infinity could go on for infinity!

[@Echo-Daksh]

This is one of the ∞ proofs for this

[@pideperdonus2]

♾️ - ♾️ = the nulity element. I guess.

[@lakshyakumar-]

Damn

[@JEE_2025-g8r]

infinity is not a number, so you can't use such operations on it

[@Saikiisdone]

Real

[@MaxEditsSpore]

Can you please do integral of x^(e^x)
