  2. Division by zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

    A positive or negative number when divided by zero is a fraction with the zero as denominator. Zero divided by a negative or positive number is either zero or is expressed as a fraction with zero as numerator and the finite quantity as denominator. Zero divided by zero is zero. In 830, Mahāvīra unsuccessfully tried to correct the mistake ...

    Another example is the zero function (or zero map) on a domain D. This is the constant function with 0 as its only possible output value, that is, it is the function f defined by f(x) = 0 for all x in D. As a function from the real numbers to the real numbers, the zero function is the only function that is both even and odd.

  5. Zero to the power of zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_to_the_power_of_zero

    Zero to the power of zero, denoted as 0 0, is a mathematical expression with different interpretations depending on the context. In certain areas of mathematics, such as combinatorics and algebra, 0 0 is conventionally defined as 1 because this assignment simplifies many formulas and ensures consistency in operations involving exponents.

    A pentagon is a five-sided polygon. A regular pentagon has 5 equal edges and 5 equal angles. In geometry, a polygon is traditionally a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed chain.

  7. Division by infinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_infinity

    The hyperbola = /.As approaches ∞, approaches 0.. In mathematics, division by infinity is division where the divisor (denominator) is ∞.In ordinary arithmetic, this does not have a well-defined meaning, since ∞ is a mathematical concept that does not correspond to a specific number, and moreover, there is no nonzero real number that, when added to itself an infinite number of times ...

    The report implied that Anderson had discovered the solution to division by zero, rather than simply attempting to formalize it. The report also suggested that Anderson was the first to solve this problem, when in fact the result of zero divided by zero has been expressed formally in a number of different ways (for example, NaN).
