When taking about limits, you can approach 0 from the positive or negative direction, which can give very different results. For example, lim cotx, x->0+ = ∞ while lim cotx, x->0- = -∞
Speaking as a mathematician, it's not really accurate to call that -0.
Yes, but it is infinitesimally close.
You also can't call something infinity. People call stuff names. It is just important that they define their terms well enough.
