QuestionDetermine if is positive, zero, negative, or undefined. Find the quotient and assess its reasonableness.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are dividing0 by584. We are working within the real number system
STEP 2
To determine the sign of the quotient, we need to look at the signs of the dividend (the number being divided) and the divisor (the number we are dividing by). In this case, the dividend is0 and the divisor is5842, a positive number.
STEP 3
Since the dividend is0 and the divisor is a positive number, the quotient will be0. This is because0 divided by any non-zero number is always0. Therefore, the answer to part a) is "zero".
STEP 4
Now, let's calculate the quotient of0 divided by5842.
STEP 5
Perform the division operation.
So, the answer to part b) is "A. ".
STEP 6
Finally, let's examine whether the answer in part b) is reasonable and makes sense.
STEP 7
The product of the divisor (5842) and the quotient (0) is0, which is the dividend. This means that the division operation has been performed correctly, and the answer makes sense.Therefore, the answer to part c) is "B. Yes, because the product of the divisor and the quotient is the dividend."
