~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Answering formally, NO ONE of the values from the list is valid.
The GLOBAL reason is that the formula written in the post is INCORRECT // absurdist.
In the formula, its left side is IDENTICALLY equal to 0 (zero, ZERO),
while the right side has a constant non-zero value.
Try again, and be MORE ATTENTIVE next time . . .
