Chapter 1: Q. 1.98TI (page 76)

Simplify: $(a) \frac{0}{d - 4}, w h e r e d \neq 4 (b) \frac{15 - 4 q}{0}, w h e r e 15 - 4 q \neq 0$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution of (a) is $0$ and (b) is undefined.

Step by step solution

Part (a) Step 1. Given information

The expression: $(a) \frac{0}{d - 4}, w h e r e d \neq 4$

Part (b) Step 2. Calculation

We have,

$\frac{0}{d - 4}, w h e r e d \neq 4 = 0$

Since, zero divided by any real number except itself is zero.

Part (b) Step 1. Given information

The expression: $(b) \frac{15 - 4 q}{0}, w h e r e 15 - 4 q \neq 0$

Part (b) Step 2. Calculation

We have,

$\frac{15 - 4 q}{0}, w h e r e 15 - 4 q \neq 0 = u n d e f i n e$

Since, divided by zero is undefined.
