Who was the first person ever to divide by zero successfully?
Chuck Norris Whoever and whatever Chuck Norris might be, he is not a mathematician; they all know that you can't divide by zero. If you try to then nonsense answers appear out of the woodwork.
Can a triangle has three sides of length 8 and 9 and 17?
The sides of 8 and 9 would have to stretch out straight in line in order to reach the ends of the side of 17, and then they would flop down right on top of it. The triangle would have two angles of zero degrees, and one angle of 180 degrees. When you looked at it, it would look like a straight line segment with a length of 17; you wouldn't know that there were two other line segments lying on top of it. A mathematician might call that a "degenerate triangle". But in a practical sense, I don't think anyone else would accept it as a member of the triangle club.
What is the domian in math?
In an equation like C=2PiR, the circumference (C) of a circle in terms of the radius (R), we call the values of R to be in the Domain and the values of C are then calculated and we say those results are in the Range. So the Domain is any quantity from zero to the width of the universe if you want to be practical. I suppose that someone might like to calculate the circumference of two adjacent universes, so their Domain for R would be twice as big. Notice that the Domain contains no negative numbers. No practical circle has a negative radius.
How is algebra applied to other subjects?
A simple answer might be an example of any calculation which requires a formula (actual mileage for your vehicle, your electrical bill, converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius, the theory or relativity, etc.). As any mathematician can explain, many of our simpler formulas can be worked through using basic mathematics. However, as the formula becomes more complicated, often simple math without using variables, becomes a cumbersome, time consuming, or sometimes an impossible task without resorting to algebra.
