Is it imaginary since it cannot be found on the real number line? Where does it live...irrational, imaginary, neither. Please help. \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #85187 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since you cannot divide by zero, the result is undefined. So 1/0 is neither rational nor irrational. It is also neither real nor imaginary. This is the reason why 1/0 is undefined, it is simply not a number (note: some calculators show 1/0 as NaN which stands for Not a Number). Does this make sense? \n" ); document.write( " |
