0/0=1 Truthy or Facty?

Neither. You cannot divide by zero. 0/0 is undefined.

 

[Camlon]

Neither. You cannot divide by zero. 0/0 is undefined.

What is the reason you can't divide by 0? It is because it becomes infinitly large, and can not be placed on a number scale.

However it is possible to divide 0 by 0. If it wasn't possible, then how do you do derivation?

Truthy or Facty?

Neither, If computer were allowed to give an answer, there would be many problems.

0 / 0=x
can be rewritten as
0 = 0 * x

x can be any number, not just one.

**EDIT**
Another reason why 0/0 must be undefined, and not 1

Assume 0/0 = 1
0 * 1 = 0
0 * 2 = 0
0 * 1 = 0 * 2
(0 / 0) * 1 = 2
1 * 1 = 2
1 = 2

It is not undefinied, it is dependent on what the previous values are. I am going to give you a function. What is the value of
sin x/x at x= 0

As I said before, how do you do derivation if 0/0 is undefined. 0/0 is either infinite or 0/0 = K

It seems that you are confusing limits with equality.
lim x->0+ (0/0) = +inf
lim x->0- (0/0) = -inf
Those are both valid. The actual value of 0/0, however, is undefined. Derivation is based on the limit as delta_x goes to zero, not the value when delta_x is equal to zero

It is the limit, but for all practical purposes it is equal to a certain value. If you want to use it in a equation, then you will use the value of whatever you get from 0/0.

Also, your limits doesn't make any sense as there are no x in your equation.

Nothing can't be divided. There is nothing to divide.

0 has no value, you can't divide nothing by nothing.
Math is logical bro.

That's not true. Something divided by zero is not infinite, it is undefined.

It is not possible to divide by zero.

 

[d0gbreath]

0/0 = 0, 0/1 = 0, 0/256 = 0, 0/-i = 0

Infinite is undefined.

 

[Thorgasm]

Infinity is infinitely greater than zero. :mrgreen:

 

[Khayembii Communique]

That's not true. Something divided by zero is not infinite, it is undefined.

According to my Call of Duty kill/death ratio any number divided by zero is just that number so my k/d is 5/0=5, not undefined how could they measure my skillz then?

for some reason, this feels like a "how long can you make a dummy guess" question...

no offense
