Suppose not, then there will be problems of some type, say Chemistry.
But then, we would have solve problems of Chemistry, which means we solved of the Chemistry problems. But is undetermined, which means that , where .
Thus, we have a contradiction (since the fraction is constant) and thus we have every type of problem in Brilliant. :D

But how to solve?
who says 0/0 is constant? and that it is real?
Log in to reply
0/0 is undefined and is not constant, take for instance the graph of y = x, witch obviously passes through the origin (0;0) on the Cartesian plane. So therefore y/x = 1, therefore every point on the graph will result in one. Therefore if (0;0) lies on the graph, y/x = 0/0 = 1. But now lets examine the grpah of y = -x, witch too passes through the point (0;0). Therefore y/x = -1 and every point on the graph will result in -1. Point (0;0) lies on the graph and therefore y/x = 0/0 = -1. There are infinitely many approaches and slopes that the line can take therefore 0/0 is undefined as it can equal anyone of these values.

I didn't say 00 is constant.
i know, but @Zi Song's statement says that 0/0 = x, x ∈ R Since all real are constant, therefore 0/0 is constant this is why i question it. or maybe the R is for something else?

really?
Please justify the fact that "00 is undetermined"
dividing by 0 is just absurd. thats it
0/0 is infinity.

who said,1/0 is infinity
