math question

[jimbobhickville]

Okay, we all know infinity divided by anything is equal to infinity, and anything divided by zero is undefined. So what is infinity divided by zero? Is it infinity or undefined?

Ok, lame joke aside...an interesting tidbit of info for everyone to spew chunks about. I have a friend who rather enjoys DNB. This same friend today played a Britney Spears song followed by a lounge singer followed by the title track from DNB. Very interesting fellow, to say the least. He wants to send me some Mexican rap band that alternates between rap and big-band sound. And I thought I liked strange music.

Well, I'm really tired and that is obvious by now. I'm going to Oklahoma for 8 days starting tomorrow, so I won't be around. I'll try to check in from time to time and post more random nonsensical bullshit for y'all to waste time reading.

Later.

ah-ha. . . your post may be nonsensical, but it is much more intelligent that some of the spam we get around here by **certain** unregistered posters. . .

undefined, because asking how many times 0 goes into 5 would be the same as asking how many times it goes into infinity. No matter how many zeros you have, it still can not go into other numbers, and infinity is just every number.

Amazing! This thread actually made me think.

That's some deep shit.

...and it's math...that's scary...Usually deep stuff has to do with dtugs and various aspects and complexities of the human mind(now you can tell that I'm just taking big smart sounding words and putting them together in sentances...I'm not smart and my head is starting to hurt)...

actually it is like, we know that a divided b multiplied by a is a. a divided by 0 multiplied by 0 = a?

 

[famousamoswillkillyou]

Q= M+8- the quantity of M squared.

A(A/B)=AxA/B. A(A/B)=A. I assume you meant to write that since you wrote it the correct way the second time. (A/0) is still undefined so you can't have 0(A/0). It is not possible to divide by zero so you cannot divide by zero and then multiply by zero.

1. What is that referring to? What is Q and what is M?

2. Math starts getting deep when you get into infinity.

3. Why aren't I signed in?

i wanted to show how senseless jimbob's point is...

it's just the same as:

a/b*b = a
a/0*0 = a?

i fucked it up...sorry....

Uhm. Too much for my head right now ;P BTW. You ppl should read Chaos by JAmes Gleick... It's GREAT... And you should also watch the movie PI after reading the book ;P


Can't anyone do a movie about Fermat's LAst Theorem? *nagging*

 

[ManMadeGod6661]

ok, I'm back in school, and I DON'T need to see algebra on the forum that I surf during my web Dev class... I hate math

 

[DracWell]

I love math, at least when it's done by free will and not "forced" like it is in school.

 

[FrostGiant]

"a/0*0 = a?"
Nope. That's undefined. When doing algebra you go from left to right so the first thing you run across is a/0 which is undefined. You are then left with undefined*0 which again is undefined. Or, on you calculator E.

 

[TrueBeliever]

Frostgiant is correct, and I have seen pi, which was a cool premise but I do not believe that everything in life follows a pattern.

 

[FrostGiant]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of that either. It seems too easy. Of course it has not yet been disproved. And my job depends on that nice pattern. So I guess I'll keep following the pattern.

BTW, all music is based on mathematical patterns too so I guess it's not that bad.

fuck math.

[jimbobhickville]

hahaha...it was just a lame joke....I know it's undefined.

Anyway, I'm back now.

That's what I'd like to know.
