indeterminate forms - Can we say that frac00 is every number?



Suppose we have an equation ab=0. This equation is true when statements a=0 or b=0 are true.



If a=0, then b=00. That means b could be any number for ab=0 to be true. If the set which groups all the numbers is the complex set, then b will every number within C, so zC:b=00=z. Therefore, 00 is every number.



I know it really is not defined as number but conceptually it is every number, right?



Is this right, or am I missing something?


Answer




When we say that ab=0 we define a and b as being unique numbers. So when saying b is all the numbers we are saying that b is not unique. That leads to a contradiction so b is undefined.
