<p>I was thinking, and it doesn't make sense.
How is the cotangent of theta 0 at 90degrees when you find that out by 1/tangent of theta, which is undefined at 90 degrees.</p>
<p>So would 1/undefined = 0 ?</p>
<p>cot(90) = cos(90)/sin(90)
= 0 / 1
= 0</p>
<p>tan(90) = sin(90)/cos(90)
= 1 / 0
= undefined</p>
<p>If you think about it, the “undefined” value of 1/0 is an extremely large value that approaches infinity. As such, it makes sense that the “1 / undefined” = 0 even though the calculation cannot actually be done.</p>
<p>Ew.</p>
<p>That is all.</p>
<p>^Hahaha. Not a math person, are you?</p>
<p>qed explained this pretty well. 1/0 is undefined because infinite 0s will fit into a 1. Therefore, it makes sense that no fraction, however, small, of infinity will fit into 1 because a fraction of infinity is still infinite.</p>
<p>^^You are correct in that assumption. :)</p>
<p>But what amuses me most is that you peeps would take advantage of an online forum to discuss mathematical concepts.</p>
<p>^^ Ahaha… let’s think about the “peeps” that hang out here… not typical online forum peeps… peeps that think about those things because they’re bored… </p>
<p>=].</p>
<p>^No, I think about them because I need to put off doing my APUSH outlines.</p>
