Question

In the following exercises, simplify each expression.

(a)$\frac{0}{9}$(b)$\frac{11}{0}$

Short answer

Part (a) 0

Part (b) Undefine

Step-by-step solution

Part (a) Step 1. Given Information.

The given expression is (a)$\frac{0}{9}$(b)$\frac{11}{0}$.

Part (a) Step 2. For any real number a, 0a=0.

So, $\frac{0}{9}=0$by the property of zero.

Part (b) Step 1. For any real number a, a0is undefined.

So, $\frac{11}{0}$is undefine by the property of zero.
