QuestionDetermine the result of 1.4÷01.4 \div 0: is it positive, zero, negative, or undefined? Explain if it's reasonable.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are dividing1.4 by0. . We are following the standard rules of arithmetic where division by zero is undefined.

STEP 2

By observation, we can determine the result of the division operation. In mathematics, division by zero is undefined.
1.4÷0=?1.4 \div0 = ?

STEP 3

Since division by zero is undefined in mathematics, the quotient of1. divided by0 is undefined.
So, the answer to part (a) is C. undefined.

STEP 4

For part (b), since we have already determined that division by zero is undefined, the quotient does not exist.
So, the answer to part (b) is B. The answer is undefined.

STEP 5

For part (c), we need to determine if the answer in part (b) is reasonable and makes sense. Since division by zero is undefined in mathematics, it is reasonable and makes sense that the quotient of1.4 divided by0 is undefined.
So, the answer to part (c) is D. No, because the quotient is undefined.
