Answer:

The expression
8/0 is undefined.

Solution:

Considering the given equations,


  • -8/ (-8) = 1

  • -8/8 = (-1)

  • 0/8 =0

  • 8/0 is undefined

The expression is undefined because of the following reason.

Consider the expression
y =8/ 0

Here, if y equals 8 divided by 0 then y times 0 should also be 0 but it is not possible except in the situation when both the dividend and divisor is 0.

So, the expression
8/0
can be stated as undefined.
