Hey /sci/, what's 1/0?

Wh-what?

No please....please don't....
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
*PTHOOOM*

Layman's terms please.

1 / 0 = x

x * 0 = 1

What is x?

Oh right, it's absurd because literally everything times zero is zero.

>>8786100
0 / 0 = x

x * 0 = 0

What is x?

It could literally be anything you want it to be because anything times zero is zero.

>>8786281
Is there a theoretical way to apply that to reality outside of your imagination being the 0?

>>8785877
Its 1
Take 1 and divide it into 0 parts
Still just a 1

>>8786265
>>8786281
Following this logic, multiplying by 0 should undefined as well.

1 / 0 being undefined and x * 0 being undefined pleases my autism.

>>8786319
So is undefined supposed to be zero or infinity?

>>8786292
That's not how division works.
You must take an object of size one and divide into objects of size zero. You count the number of objects of size zero you were able to take out of the object of size one. Since you can always take out another object of size zero (doing so does not change the size of the object of size one), then you can say that number of objects you can take out approaches an infinite amount. Therefore, 1/0 approaches an infinite amount.

>>8786335
I know making zero infinity would complicate the number line further but what really separates zero from infinity in the first place rather than what is and what could be?

>>8785877
NaN

>>8786346
Infinity is not a number, it is a concept, that is why I explicitly used "infinite amount" instead of "infinity". There is no "largest number" just as there is no "smallest number", just as nothing can be of infinite size in the real world.
Zero, on the other hand is a number, and a well defined concept. It signifies nothingness, and absence of both positive and negative amounts. Zero serves as an intermediate between these positive and negative values.

>>8786265

(x * 0)^0 = 1^0
1 = 1
x = 1

any number divided by 0 = 1, if you think that any number divided by 0 is indeterminated you're fucking retarded and you should kys

>>8786376
That's actually a good explanation as to why there was no way to actually get 1 in the first place without taking away.

>>8786376
You can't just jump from "1=1" to "x=1". It's not indeterminate either. The value of x which satisfies x*0=1 approaches an infinite size.

>>8786398
But x being 0 doesn't satisfy that.

>>8786409
Why would it? It seems you don't understand the concept. Try reading >>8786335

I dunno. I first showed up on 4chan around the time That Fucking Cat was taking off, and it seemed well-entrenched then.

>>8786464
Wrong

>indeterminated
I'd go even further to say that anyone who thinks that anything, ever is "indeterminated" then they are fucking retarded and should kys

>>8786116
0/0 is undefined. It's not an indeterminate form.
[eqn]\lim_{x \rightarrow a} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}[/eqn]
is an indeterminate form if
[eqn]\lim_{x \rightarrow a} f(x) = 0[/eqn]
and
[eqn]\lim_{x \rightarrow a} g(x) = 0[/eqn]

But just plain 0/0 is undefined.

>>8785963
but thats just a twirl function

far from /0

/0 would AT LEAST be twirl that appears to goto infinity

>>8785877
Undefined. You can think of a/b geometrically as "how many times can b fit in a"? The answer, for a=1 and b=0, is it never fits in a because any size infinite product of zeroes is zero.
