What is going on? Is Calculus about to fuck up everything I thought I knew about math?
Try to at least talk him into calling it "indeterminate".
This
undetermined: Synonyms blear, bleary, blurry, dim, foggy, fuzzy, gauzy, hazy, indefinite, indistinct, indistinguishable, misty, murky, nebulous, obscure, opaque, pale, shadowy, unclear, """undefined,""" faint, vague.
sorry user but your professor is a moran
Some terms ARE undefined - we do not define them because they can't be uniquely or meaningfully defined...
>infinite slope
>moran
>Says a vertical line is an infinite slope
Is he some sort of engineer?
A calc 1 teacher is supposed to beat rigor into your brain, not spout some mathematical woowoo
0/x=0
x = undefined, because all real numbers work
>a-a is undetermined, since it's impossible to tell if it's positive or negative zero
Tell him to kill himself
