Best Answer

even though is the variable, he identity property o zero states all numbers divided or multiplied by zero equal zero. Therefore, your answer is zero

Ans 2 The answer above is just plain wrong.

The identity for multiplication and division is 1. 5*1=1 5/1=1 .

n times zero is zero

n divided by zero is undefined. If you try to sneak up on it the results get ever larger.

For this reason division by zero is forbidden in math.

We have all seen "proofs" that 1=2 or similar nonsense. This is done by algebraic manipulation with a division by zero cunningly hidden in it.

Yes, it does.


What is the answer to this problem x over 0?

For any value divided by zero the answer is "infinite" or "undefined". Think about it. X divided by 1 is X. X divided by 1/2 is 2X. X divided by 1/4 is 4X. As the divisor gets smaller, the result gets larger. As the divisor approaches zero, the result approaches infinity.

Why is a number raise to zero is equal to one?

x to the n divided by x to the n is 1. By the law of powers x to the power n divided by x to the power n is x to the power (n minus n), ie x to the power zero. Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other. Therefore x to the power zero = 1. (Unless x = zero!)


Why everything to power of zero is equal to one?

x to the power a divided by x to the power b is x to the power (a - b) When a and b are equal then this is x to the power a divided by x to the power a, ie 1. x to the power (a - a) = x to the power zero. Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other, so 1 = x to the power zero.


Does the series 1 divided by x diverge?

No. If x tends to infinite, 1/x tends to zero.

Why is twenty divided by zero is undefined?

Division by zero is undefined.Division is the inverse function of multiplication. Thus 20 divided by 4 is 5 because 5*4 = 20But there is no number x such that, if 20/0 = x then x*0 = 20


Why is quotient of a number divide by itself?

Any real number (besides zero) divided by itself is equal to 1. In algebraic terms, if x is a non-zero real number then x/x=1. Zero is the exception because dividing a number by zero is undefined. For example 5 divided by itself is 1. 5/5=1


What is zero divided by 14?

zero divided by 14 is zero ( zero divided by anything other than zero is always zero/)


What is M divided by X?

M divided by X is M/X, except when X is zero, in which case it is invalid. Other than that, since insufficient information was given in the question, no other answer can be given.
