How will you define?

Question

How will u define our 0 to the aliens mathematically?

Answer 1

tht it means none, not null which would have the line but as nothing tht was something, and then i would be wondering why aliens tht traveled this far wouldnt understand the number zero and ask them to come over for dinner.

Answer 2

They would probably have a similar representation of nullness but since the addition operation is simple for even a toddler to understand the gist of, I'd say we should define it as,
1 - 1 = 0
then for any quantity k,
k+0=k => k - k = 0

Or we can draw circles on the ground, place objects within for some and none in one. Then zero may be understood as a set.

Answer 3

You can define 1 for them, then define the concept of "plus" and the number 2 as in: 1 + 1 = 2. Then you can define the concept of "minus" and zero as "1 - 1 = 0"

Answer 4

It could be defined with the use of sets and subsets. The empty set is a subset of any set. For instance, draw a picture with four objects and show the number four. Circle two of the objects and show the number two. Draw an empty circle within the original objects, but empty, and show them zero.

This could also be done with subtraction examples.

Answer 5

0 is the identity element for addition:

X + 0 = X

in the same way that 1 is the identity element for multiplication:

X * 1 = X

Answer 6

kill every alien present there and they will understand

Answer 7

it can be understand by subtraction
