$$\huge\color{blue}{  \frac{0}{0}=undefined } $$

perhaps, $$\huge\color{blue}{  \frac{0}{0}=0 } $$

why not?

anonymous · Answer

undefined

solomonzelman · Answer

I know it's undefined, but I am asking why isn't it equal to zero?

anonymous · Answer

because zero can go infinite times into any number since zero is nothing. nothing can go into nothing infinite times.

solomonzelman · Answer

oh, limit-wise (if it makes sense to say this)

Can this be proven, or I have to eat it as it is?     <---- I'd put ketchup on it first

solomonzelman · Answer

LoL, what if it's a cake, then I should still put ketchup on it?

anonymous · Answer

no, use mustard.

solomonzelman · Answer

No, for real, is it not provable so to speak, I have to accept it as a rule, right?

solomonzelman · Answer

And mustard with cake? Eww!

anonymous · Answer

then mayonnaise

solomonzelman · Answer

If you eat cake with mayonnaise, feel bad.

math has it "fallacies" and quirks, and those are usually called "Extraneous" and this just happen to be one

I mean the same can be said about say $\bf 2^0=1\qquad 1,000,000^0=1\qquad 0^0=1?\qquad 0^0=0?$

anonymous · Answer

0^0 = undefined

jdoe0001 · Answer

but the logical part would say of course, that should be 0

solomonzelman · Answer

you are disproving that 0^0=0 based on x^0=1?

solomonzelman · Answer

Whatever....

jdoe0001 · Answer

hehe, just get some ketchup and some whip cream too, if it's a pastry, use the whip cream, otherwise use the ketchup =)

solomonzelman · Answer

I just ate my birthday cake; 17, and not in the mood for ketchup right now.
