Thou shalt not divide by zero

"But why not?", you may be asking.

I'm glad you asked since I'm going to tell you all about it.

The simple answer is that dividing any number by zero is undefined. But what does that mean? Why is it undefined?

Here is a good video that explains why any number divided by zero is undefined.

Another way of looking at it is by setting up an equation such as x=1/0. If we now multiply both sides by zero we get 0*x=1, but we know that any number multiplied by zero is zero, so we end up with 0=1, which is obviously incorrect.

In the second video, he talks about why 0/0 is also undefined. We learned that any number divided by itself is always equal to 1. But before we do that, let's look at 2/2...which is 1. We could write this as 2/2=1. If we multiply both sides by 2, we end up with 2=1*2, 2=2. Now if we try 0/0=1. and multiply both sides by zero we get 0=0*0 or 0=0, which is true. But 0/0 is also equal to 2, 3 ,5, 47, 1,453,675,342...in fact 0/0 is equal to every possible number since 0/0=x and 0=x*0 which will always be 0=0. Since it's not possible to come up with an answer that's always correct, it is also just undefined!

As far as the rest of the list, most of it is just being facetious...except for number 5. And we've talked about that one before.

And the very last line says "i 8 sum pi".
