Yes, late night math is not a good idea. Darth_Katie Send a noteboard - 28/04/2011 08:14:48 PM
Its 4:40 in the morning and I need an answer to this question. (8

Math and late at night are usually bad ideas, I've heard and believe from anecdotal experience that your brain handles math better earlier in your day, so better to set the alarm early then stay up late


Through a series of unfortunate choices, I ended up not sleeping last night. Thankfully though it didn't involve much math other than Physics II for life sciences, which is a whole 'nother story. But I was suddenly struck with horrifying uncertainty about whether 0/0 was undefined or not, so I turned to you good people for help. Gotta procrastinate somehow. :P

I always, always regret not getting enough sleep. I don't know why I thought it would be different this time, but you know its bad when you start to doze off in the middle of your exam. :[

Math question Darth_Katie - 28/04/2011 09:40:34 AM 635 Views
Both are undefined. Camilla - 28/04/2011 10:04:55 AM 503 Views
Because 0 divided by anything is 0. So the answer is both 1 and 0. Therefore, undefined. *NM* Tim - 28/04/2011 10:08:44 AM 200 Views
This isn't really true. 0/x=0 when x!=0. Ghavrel - 28/04/2011 10:22:04 AM 481 Views
Yeah, I levelled down a bit on purpose. *NM* Tim - 28/04/2011 10:36:47 AM 195 Views
Short answer: you can't divide by zero or infinity. Longer answer: you can if you use Calculus. Ghavrel - 28/04/2011 10:28:18 AM 479 Views
The limit of 0/x would be zero random thoughts - 28/04/2011 01:55:03 PM 471 Views
I'm going to go with you on this one. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/04/2011 07:37:44 PM 198 Views

Glad to hear it; I don't often get accused of making sense these days. Joel - 09/05/2011 09:50:33 PM 417 Views
Divide By Cucumber Error. Please reinstall universe and reboot. *NM* Tigr - 28/04/2011 08:11:22 PM 228 Views
