Answer 2

so 2/(10^2)? which is .02

Answer 3

keep going; LARGE values of x

2/(1000000000000000000000000000^2)

Answer 4

Im gonna need a better claculator one sec

Answer 5

so y=0

Answer 6

lol consider this logic:

spose a pie is cut into 2 pieces, and you get 2 pieces of pie: 2/2 = 1 thats a large chunk of th epie right?

now assume its cut into 10 pieces, 100 pieces, 124912304758580235 pieces, and each time you only get 2 slices

are you getting more of the pie? or less of the pie each time?

Answer 7

yes, so y=0 :)
