Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are dividing0 by5254. We are working in the set of real numbers
STEP 2
First, let's determine by observation whether the quotient will be a positive number, zero, a negative number, or undefined.
Any number divided by a non-zero number is zero. Therefore, the quotient will be zero.
STEP 3
Now, let's calculate the quotient of .
STEP 4
Finally, let's examine whether the answer in part (b) is reasonable and makes sense.
The product of the divisor and the quotient is the dividend. In this case, , which is the dividend. Therefore, the answer in part (b) is reasonable and makes sense.
a) The quotient will be zero.
b)
c) Yes, because the product of the divisor and the quotient is the dividend.
