divide zero by zero

Dear Guest  :

I have been vaccinated against  CDD  [ Congenital Dumba$$ Disease ]   ....thus, "F'd  Up "  answers don't  trouble me as they would most. However....if you can provide proof of your alcohol consumption - empty bottles, etc.  -  to either Melody or me within 14 days, we will kindly consider your request for 25 bonus points......

Sincerely,

Sir CPhill

what's zero divided by zero?

No can do   

The answer is that the limit of 0/0 in the negative directions trends to negative infinity, and in the positive direction trends to positive infinity

\(\lim_{x\rightarrow infinity } 0/0=+infinity\)

\(\lim_{x\rightarrow -infinity } 0/0=-infinity\)

You can't have a single answer because it depends wheter you aproch it from the negative or positive side

EDIT:

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

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

Thanks for all the answers! (even the mean ones)
I now realize this is not a actual answer to the question. But it still sheeds a bit of light on why you can't (thecnicaly) divide by cero in linear algebra.

Kudos to CPhill for giving the actual answer

Indeterminate.......to see why.......

 a / b  = c  implies that   bc  = a

Then

0 / 0   implies  that   0   times  [something]  = 0

But  "something"  could be  "anything".....thus,  0 / 0   has no fixed value........

I just gave him the 5 points for becoming a member.......I'm feeling charitable....LOL!!!!!!

It should have been the eleventh commandment:

'Thou shalt not divide by zero'.

Well, if a moronic dumbshitt  gets 5 points for joining and giving a fucked up answer, I should get at least 25 points for giving a good answer.

Melody should get 50 points for having to deal with the personification of stupid ....  well, 25, anyway,

Moronic’s  graph is 1/x

CPhill seems immune to personifications of stupid .... he should get 75 points. But only if he shares his immunizing recipe, otherwise -75.  I use alcohol, but it doesn’t work very well. :/

Sorry, I am not a member so I can’t give points. After using the calculator, I decided to read some of the questions and answers. This is my second visit and that was my first post. I thought it would be deleted quickly, especially posting on your comments with both of you online.  I didn’t expect you to have a sense of humor about it. It is really cool that you do. I reduced the points because the graph is y=1/x instead of xy=c, which is the same thing if c=1. I was just being consistent with the theme of the post. 

CDD!  This reminds me of my firm’s principal troubleshooter. He was always looking for a cure or a vaccine for CDD, although he called it Contagious Dumbness Disease.  He would select anyone who f’d up as candidate for experimental trials.  It was a joke, but he often acted as if it was serious.  

I have a mostly empty bottle of vodka, a half-empty bottle of gin, and a partly empty bottle of bourbon. These are leftovers from the New Year’s Day party.   I have been draining them but it may be a few weeks or so until they are empty. I probably can’t meet the deadline unless I run into more than the average amount of stupid.  LOL I still have to give a good answer too.

Guest, would you create an account and message me, if you please?  I may very well be acquainted with your “Troubleshooter”
