Theorem mnfaddpnf

Description: Addition of negative and positive infinity. This is often taken to be a "null" value or out of the domain, but we define it (somewhat arbitrarily) to be zero so that the resulting function is total, which simplifies proofs. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 20-Aug-2015)
