Question 463472: Please help me solve the following problem:
Given that a/a= a^0 = 1
where "a" is a real number. Does this hold for all real numbers or
should we add a disclaimer about a? If a disclaimer is needed, what should it say?

It doesn't hold when a = 0. In this case, we say that 0/0 is indeterminate (unlike "undefined," indeterminate means that 0/0 can equal any number such that it is impossible to determine a unique answer. "Undefined" means that there is no such possible finite answer, such as 1/0.).
