Lame guess: 0/0 = The square root of 0-(10^-infinity) Wait... 0/0 = 1 0/0 * 2/1 = 1 * 2/1 0/0 = 2 1 = 2 I can't see how that works... Hmm... 0/0 = 1 0/0 * 2/1 = 1 * 2/1 X * Y = 1 * Y ...I can't understand how to make that mean 0/0=2... (edited by Smallhacker on 11-13-04 07:37 AM) |

For being his 1337's post that was a nice one. But well, I can sorta see why people think 0/0 = 1 since X/X is always 1. Still 0/0 may as well be an expection from that rule then... or? |

Ah. I see... What about 0/0=0, then? Or what if 0/0 is as real as -1^0.5? | |||

Hmm some ideas: Let a/0 = a' existing in R'. a is from R is the real number field. Some axioms: 1. a/0 * b/0 = (ab)/0^2 Which would be in R'', not R or R'. See how far this can go? 2. a/0 * b = (ab)/0. A better multiplication rule. 3. a/0 + (-a)/0 = 0/0 (additive inverse rule) 4. a/0 * 0 = a. Note this is an exception to rule 2. This sets the precedent for fractional multiplication with zero in the numerator. 5. thus, a/0 * 0/a = a/a = 1, a =/= 0 (multiplicative inverse) 6. 0/0 is the additive identify, 1 is the multiplicative identity 7. a * 0/0 = 0/0, for a =/= 0. a/0 * 0/0 = a/0 here a can be 0. Note that here we cannot say 0/0 = 1 in general because it acts differently upon the sets R and R'. Thus R and R' are still not trivial ( = {0} ) Miscellaneous: 8. a/0 + b = a/0 + b/1. And since division by zero is an operator that sends b -> b', we cannot use it to place b in the set R'. hence there can be no common denominator, and the sets R and R' are therefore orthogonal. a' + b is then the simplest expression. 9. For this to change you have to change normal notions that things like 0/2 = 0. Here such terms cannot be so easily eliminated. Also, 0*1 is not the same as 0 anymore. 10. From this we might infer that multipication by 0 also yields something like a field R(sub)', and R(sub)'', etc. with further multiplication. Hence 0*b might be b(sub)' in R(sub)'. I haven't explored that much though. If you find any problems with this I wouldn't be surprised, since it was thrown together in like 20 min. If you don't find any problems, then I guess this is a way to divide by zero. Nyah. (edited by MathOnNapkins on 11-15-04 12:48 AM) |

I am genuinely curious. Did you write all that out on a napkin before you posted it? ~;o | |||

YES, YES It's all true! *sob* No actually I typed it from scratch into the reply box. |
