You divided by zero, didn't you?

 

[I'll Begin]

You can not divide by zero.

Dividing by zero theoretically causes the universe to implode. That's why computers and calculators give an error when you try. It's a method they use to stop the universe from imploding, but it's also to stop the calculator from crashing. People are still figuring out how powerful a supercomputer needs to be to divide by zero, but the day someone does make a supercomputer capable of dividing by zero, the universe will implode, even if they use a simulated environment, because there's just no way existence can handle dividing by zero.

I'd tell you my theory, but the Universe would implode.

what the hell

dividing by 0 should just give you 0, right? use it like 1st grade math

YOU HAVE 100 COOKIES
YOU GIVE THEM TO NO ONE; NOT EVEN YOURSELF AND BLOW THEM UP SO THEY DONT EXIST

how many cookies do you have left?

 

[glaber]

?_? That doesn't match my theory.

Ermmm........ 22?

0. It's like dividing the blasted cookies into numbers for each person. There is not a single one, so no-one would get one.

 

[glaber]

besides, you blew them up.

 

[super silvex]

theres still the ashes O_o

If a tree fell and no one was around to hear it does it make a sound? Yes. Just like 0 if you divide 0 by 0 you get 0.

wow i never know that a tree made a sound when no ones there *sarcastic*

Duh. I don't get how that could possibly be a trick question.

On September 21, 1997, a divide by zero error in the USS Yorktown (CG-48) Remote Data Base Manager brought down all the machines on the network, causing the ship's propulsion system to fail.

That is how bad zero is?! god thats a evil little number.

No. 0/0 has been declared in the calculus books as an INDETERMINATE TYPE. 0/x = 0. x/0 = DoesNotExist. 0/0 = INDETERMINATE.

However, let's say we have 1/x, where x starts out as 5 and it gets closer and closer to 0. It starts at .2 and approaches infinity. Often, when finding limits, if x approaches c, and f'(c) = division by zero but f'(x) is not, then f'(x) probably approaches infinity (or negative infinity) as x approaches c.

Math totally FTW.
