I need a step by step proving of the statement If c is any nonzero real number then c/c = 1
Starting from...?
i guess it depends of what you definition of division is. if you say \[\frac{a}{b}=c \iff a=bc\] then \[\frac{c}{c}=x \iff xc = c \iff x = 1\]
you have to start with something, as estudier said
I don't know where to start T_T
Well, satellite73 has linked together the operations of division and multiplication to conclude that c/c = 1. Does his argument not convince you?
it is totally obvious that any non-zero number divided by itself is 1. when asked this question, are you given a definition for division?
Yes, I was.
How about c * 1/c? Maybe we could do something with that?
yes,yes ...I remember, our instructor told us about Multiplicative Inverses
may stuff is ending up all over the place
Now we're talking...reckon you can do it now...
Yey..thank you so much for the help :) Satellite and estudier
you are welcome, what is this course you are doing?
It's College Algebra and Trigonometry
Ah, right...Good luck with it then.
Thanks! :)
