YOU CAN NEVER DIVIDE BY ZERO!

IF YOU DO, THE UNIVERSE WILL IMPLODE!

1/0

=\(\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{1}{x}\)

If you look at the graph below, when x approaches 0, y approaches infinity or negative infinity.

Max, 1/0 does not equal those limits!  How can 1/0 = + and -infinity at the same time!

 

Of course the 2 limits by themselves are correct :)

The answer is not infinity!

What Max has written is correct but if a number is divided by zero the answer is undefined.
