Someone help
I'm having a difficulty answering this question(and its math 0.0)

As we all know, anything over itself is 1, zero over anything is 0, and anything over 0 is undefined. Now my friend asked me this:

Whats 0 over 0? And I was like 0.0???????

Can anyone help me?

RE: Someone help
It's also undefined, however, in limits, you can say that the limit as X approaches 0 in f(x)= 1/X is infinity.

Unless I am mistaken, the limit of 0/x as x approaces 0 is 0, but that doesn't mean anything with regards to this.

If 0/0=x, then 0x is 0. x can then be any number, therefore it is also undefined.

Ah, it seems Spaz is replying. He'll be able to tell you much more than I can

RE: Someone help
Any other real number over 0 is undefined, but you can kind of think of it as positive or negative infinity (but it's not really infinity, it's undefined).

0 over 0 is also undefined. But here, you can think of it kind of being like it could be anything (but again, it's still undefined).

In short, ANYTHING divided by 0 is undefined in normal math.

</rephrasing of Kirby> (Saying much more than you? Haha, guess again Toungue)
