One over Zero?

Question

What is the anwser to x=1/0.

ps. serious anwsers only plz

Answer 1

Answer:
X = indeterminate
Division by zero is not permissible.
When you take Differential Calculus, you can easily prove the foregoing statement.
When you divide an expression by zero, you can easily prove that 1 is equal to 2.
I will get back with you about this fallacy, using all algebraic operations.
I will incorporate it in the comment section if I could not edit this answer.
I do not have time right now.
You can email me if you want.
Good Luck!

Answer 2

It is "undefined". The x here has no real value. You simply can't divide by zero in math.

The reason why it's undefined is because if you multiply both sides by 0, you get 0*x = 1. What number times 0 gives you 1? Or for that matter anything other than zero? The answer is no number. So x here is undefined.

Whenever this question comes up there are people who claim 1/0 is infinity. This is incorrect. The idea comes from the fact that 1/p APPROACHES infinity as p APPROACHES zero. For example, 1/0.1 = 10, 1/0.01 = 100, 1/0.001 = 1000, etc. So 1/p grows indefiniately as p gets smaller and smaller. But it's wrong to say 1/0 is "infinity" because 1) division by zero makes no sense (how do you make piles of "0" from something?) and 2) infinity is NOT a number. It is only a concept. The reason why it's not a number is because you can't do operations with it. What is infinity plus 1? Infinity? That implies 1 = 0, which like 0*x = 1, is wrong.

The answer is not "indetermined" either. That's a different term that refers to the special case of 0/0. In this case, x = 0/0 could be ANYTHING because it means 0*x = 0. Once again, 1/0 is "undefined" because it can take on NO value.

Answer 3

The correct answer is fish. The expression 1/0 is nonsensical, therefore it deserves a nonsensical answer.

Edit: well that's what I get for trying to be funny. Although a few people seem to be under the impression that undefined is some kind of special value that we assign to certain expressions that would otherwise give nonsensical results. It isn't. Undefined isn't a value. When we say that an expression such as 1/0 is undefined, it doesn't mean 1/0 has the special value of "undefined", or that 1/0 and "undefined" are different expressions for the same thing (which means the person who wrote 1/0 = undefined is actually WRONG, because use of the equals sign means that the expressions on either side DO signify the same thing). What it means is that 1/0 _has no value_. We do not assign any meaning to the symbol 1/0, any more than we assign a meaning to the symbol Zqln'A. As such, the following words are also accurate descriptors of 1/0:

invalid
meaningless
not a number
nonsensical
undefined

There is an additional problem -- x=1/0 isn't a question, therefore it cannot be answered. Now, someone who asks you to answer a non-question (a logically impossible task) clearly does not wish for a logical response, but they do want a response or else they would not have posed the challenge. Therefore, it follows that they must want an illogical response. And fish is about the most illogical response imaginable to a post in the mathematics section, therefore I maintain that fish is indeed the optimum response.

Answer 4

1 / 0 = Undefined

Answer 5

Any number divided by zero, or simply, division by zero is undefined.

Answer 6

Answer to this is this form is called "Indeterminate"
Not only this, also (2/0),(3/0),..........(anything divide by zero) is called an "Indeterminate Form"
Also infinity divided by Infinity is also called as "Indeterminate Form"

Answer 7

any number divided by zero is equal to infinity.
infinity is denoted by a symbol that looks like an 8 sitting on its side...

this result is not undefined....it also comes up as the value of tan 90 degrees.
similarly log(0) is minus infinity.

Answer 8

answer : indeterminate.

check out this :
1/0.0001 = 10,000
1/0.000001 = 1,000,000
1/0.000000001 = 1,000,000,000
that is when the divisor get close to zero by + (possitive) side of zero the answer gets close to (+infinity).

similarly,
1/-0.0001 = -10,000
1/-0.000001 = -1,000,000
1/-0.000000001 = -1,000,000,000

that is when the divisor get close to zero by - (negative) side of zero the answer gets close to (-infinity).

This is a very 'ablick' case.so who knows what happens to the answer when is gets to the perfect zero ?

thats why it is indeterminate.

Answer 9

n over k = binominal (n,k)

and if k is equal to zero, binominal(n, 0)=1

Answer 10

1/O=O
