Explain why division by zero is not allowed in our number system.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elenna [48]3 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Division by zero is not defined in our number system.

You can understand this if you think about how division and multiplication are related.

For example:

4 divided by 2 is 2 because  2 times 2 is 4

Now 4 divided by 0 is x would mean that  0 times x = 4

But there is no value for x so that 0 times x =4. Because 0 times a number is 0.  

Or

4/0 means Into how many groups of zero could you separate  four blocks?

It doesn't matter how many zero groups you have, as they'd never add up to four.

0+0+0+0=0.

You can add zero billions time still add up to zero.

That the reason behind "division by zero is not allowed in our number system."

Miles = 7

Time= 60min

constant(k) = 7/60

~~~~~~~

miles = x

time= 24 min

7/60 = x/ 24

x= 7/60 x 24

 = 2.8 miles

When angles complementary,the sum of their mesures is 90 degrees. Two complementary angles have measures of 2x-10 degrees and 3x
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

34 degrees and 56 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

As the two given angles are complementary,

2x-10+3x-10=90

5x-20=90

5x=90+20=110

x=110/5=22

x=22

Now each angle

2x-10=2*22-10=34 degrees

and

3x-10=3*22-10= 56 degrees

Are 5y=2x-5 and 5y-3x=1 parallel
alexandr1967 [171]
Convert to ax+by=c form
for
ax+by=c
and
dx+ey=f
a/d=b/e
then they are paralell

5y=2x-5
-2x+5y=-5

5y-3x=1
-3x+5y=1


compare
-2x+5y=-5
-3x+5y=1

-2/-3=5/5
2/3=1
false
they are not paralelll
