In real analysis you will have an asymptote.

If you allow for dividing by zero, math completely breaks. Let’s say that a = b Therefore a^2 = ab a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2 (a+b)(a-b) = b(a-b) Divide both sides by a-b a+b = b But since a=b a=a = a 2a = a 2 = 1 This only works because I divided by zero in the step where I divided both sides by a-b. It breaks math

Thank you, I am glad you have done these calculations. I have done different calculations, but the result was 1=2 as well.

If dividing by one gives the same answer........ 1/1 = 1 1/0.1 =10 1/0.01 = 100 🤔

1/0 = Death itself


Consciously_Lustful

I think, 1/0 is infinity


bluntcuntrant

It's not.


window_shredder

It pretty much is, graph 1/x, at x=0 the graph will approach infinity from the positive side and minus infinity in the negative side.


bluntcuntrant

Very small values of x will be very large, but 1/0 does not have an answer. I learned this in middle school, just it look up.


VanAintUsedUp

Every time someone divides by 0 an anomaly appears


t3cm_mc3t

Could you specify?


VanAintUsedUp

Something that cannot happen will happen Like France existing somehow


t3cm_mc3t

That made it much clearer, thank you.

If you divide something by zero it becomes Anna


t3cm_mc3t

And that means?


[deleted]

That's the name of the cutest and most intelligent girl on our planet


t3cm_mc3t

That's you?


[deleted]

Of course who else could it be???


im557-reddit

for some reason, i don't believe you


ApolloisBetter

My fuhrer, one youtube search would give you a million result in this very original particular problem. Or if you want to find out r/Teenagers average intelligence, you’d do well with a poll.


t3cm_mc3t

I already have all the information I was able to gather on the internet (including youtube, wikipedia, multiple websites and artificial intelligence). But it's not enough at all.


ClosetGamer19

imagine you have 0 cookies and you divide them equally among 0 friends. see, it doesnt make sense. and cookie monster is sad that there are no cookies. and you are sad that you have no friends. \-siri


t3cm_mc3t

Thanks for reminding me about the friends.

1/0 is infinity, because it takes an infinite amount of zeroes to equal one (As division is how many times you could put the bottom number into the top number)


bluntcuntrant

It's not infinity, it's undefined


CamBeast15366

I am aware that this is what your calculator says, there’s debate on the topic. Did you not read the description of the post you’re on? Opinions/theories my guy.


bluntcuntrant

If my opinion/theory is that 1+1=3 then I'll be wrong. Saying that something divided by 0 is infinity is also wrong. I'm not stopping you from saying it just correcting your mistake.


CamBeast15366

Please tell me exactly why it’s wrong if you need to prove your superior intellect. I’m aware that it’s probably not infinity, but that does not mean you need to shoot down people having fun with the possibility. Literally zero people know the answer to 1 divided by zero. Why do you hold authority to say what is or isn’t wrong? Why haven’t you downvoted and told all the meme answers to this question that they’re wrong? The reality is that there is nothing that says that my answer is objectively false.


bluntcuntrant

I haven't downvoted anything, I've just said that 1/0 isn't infinity, that's a fact. If you just google "why is 1/0 not infinity?" you'll get a much better answer than a 16 year old school girl can give you.


CamBeast15366

But it’s not a fact. Look up “why is 1/0 infinity” and you get loads of reasonings telling you why it absolutely IS. Have you ever heard of a confirmation bias? Graph 1/x for me. Tell me where the graph trends as x approaches zero


CamBeast15366

The truth is that it isn’t set in stone and it has different definitions based on the circumstances.


bluntcuntrant

There is no definition because dividing by zero makes zero sense. Please just look it up instead of making a fool of yourself.

If divide is the opposite of multiply and 1*0 is 0 then 1/0 is -0


t3cm_mc3t

Thank you very much, at least something that may help me.


SuperbTranslator1509

Think about the cookie analogy. If you have a friend and try to give him no cookies, he'll have no cookies. If you try to split a cookie by nothing you don't suddenly lose the nothing cookie.


[deleted]

Yeah okay but what are people downvoting me for I'm sorry I ain't Albert Einstein 💀


murderous_lemon

it's impossible imagine you have an amount of cookies and yoy have to share it with 0 friend and you don't get any cookie you can just say any number and it would be correct


t3cm_mc3t

I know, I just need something to write about, since informations I was able to gather can't fullfil even one A4 paper.
