If a is an arbitrary nonzero constant, what happens to a/b as b approaches 0

It depends on how b approaches 0

If b is positive and gets closer to zero, then we say b is approaching 0 from the right, or from the positive side. Let's say a = 1. The equation a/b turns into 1/b. Looking at a table of values, 1/b will steadily increase without bound as positive b values get closer to 0.

On the other side, if b is negative and gets closer to zero, then 1/b will be negative and those negative values will decrease without bound. So 1/b approaches negative infinity if we approach 0 on the left (or negative) side.

The graph of y = 1/x shows this. See the diagram below. Note the vertical asymptote at x = 0. The portion to the right of it has the curve go upward to positive infinity as x approaches 0. The curve to the left goes down to negative infinity as x approaches 0.

Answer:

1 chosen from 100 leaves 98 to chose from on the second pick because the other senator from the same state is also eliminated. The second choice leaves 96 available for the third selection.

So multiply 100×98×96=940800
