the problem says to simplify is this as simple as i think the answer is 0 ? i doubt it the problem is 1202/0 .... help?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

division by zero is undefined and not allowed

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if you had 0/1202, then the answer would be 0 since 0/x = 0 for any value of x (but x can't be 0)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

but 1202/0 is undefined

o ok so any problem asking to simplify using 0 is undefined correct?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
