if 0*0=0, why can’t you divide 0 by 0 (the square root of 0) and get 0 (the square root of 0)?

Question

ditto for cube root, nth root, etc.

Answer 1

By your logic, since 0 * 10 = 0, we could say that 0/0 = 10.

That’s the problem with 0/0 – it’s undefined, because you could make it equal whatever you want.
