OP, your parents will harp on you no matter what you do, unless you cave and follow their directions to the letter. My advice, do what you can, and move out. You said you're in school still. Is that high school? If so, finish with that and move on. If it's college, probably just ignore your parents. It would be asinine for them to complain about sponge bob while you're also perusing higher education.
I am trying to be formal, it is a form of rhetoric.
And of course, you cannot measure intelligence based on the information collected here.
Meaning that your statement would be entirely normative, considering also intelligence is a subjective concept.
I'm not measuring intelligence. I don't have the means to do that, nor would I care. But the way you write does nothing to show intelligence. Which is the only reason I can come up with for typing that way, other than for the sake of being difficult.
There is no objective measurement of age as a required notion in the properties of subjects that are in the standard of entertainment.
I further advance, by stating that you do not follow their vague perspective, as by following this current commission that you have etablished, would be only further concluding their ignorance's value in the situation.
Alright, I give up. You won. it doesn't equal infinity. My reasoning is full of holes. But I still need something to fix that missing symmetry with "I can add, subtract, multiply, but not divide." thing. Anyone got anything for that? (And I am serious with this. I am not a troll.)
Like AramilTheElf, there's no solution.
If it's some OCD thing, you could just say 0 results in extremes. In addition and subtraction it does nothing, in multiplication it obliterates, and division is undefined.
No, it doesn't. The analogy isn't perfect. But I don't see the relevance of that. The cookie analogy was relevant as it showed the erroneous assumptions made in the OP. It was not made to deal with decimals.
The analogy breaks in the same way when you suppose 0.5 people as it does with 0 people, therefore it's not a valid way to disprove the OP. But I digress.
But what about arithmetically? To explain it simply, think about the definition of division. If we have ten cookies and want to divide them between 5 people, 10/5 = 2, each person gets 2 cookies. But what if we have 0 people? Each "person", considering we have none, does not get infinity cookies. You can clearly see that. That's the best simple explanation I can think of.
Your cookie analogy doesn't hold, either, as it does not allow for decimals.
What if we have the same 10 cookies, but we have 0.5 people. Does he (they?) get 20 cookies, more than we started with?
But you can't, because even infinite "nothings" would not fill the bucket, and therefore infinity is not a solution to the equation. See my above post.
You're treating infinity as a number. The problem cannot be satisfied, which is why you would call it undefined. We have to decide if we're discussing numbers or concepts.
If numbers, then the answer is undefined. There is no relevant answer.
If concepts, then sure, it would be valid to say 5/0 = infinity. How many dots could you plot along a 5 inch line?
When you divide, say 12/5, you're calculating how many times you can add 5, without it going over 12. That can be done 2.4 times.
When you divide by 0, you can add it an infinite number of times. So, yes, you could say the answer is infinity. But infinity is not a number, it's a concept, and therefore does not sufficiently answer the problem (it's irrelevant). Since there is no relevent answer, you might call it "undefined".
But sure, you can refer to 5/0 as infinite. How many nothings can fit into a 5 gallon bucket? Infinity.
Any time you get a chance to visit another place, jump at the opportunity. It is a life experience you will never forget. For state, I do say Colorado would be a good choice. Great scenery and rural areas, moderate sized city (Denver), and the people are very easy-going (almost everyone will smile/nod at you as you walk down the street).
Neither came first. There's not a moment in time you can point to and say "hey look, the first chicken" or "hey look, the first egg".
There's absolutely nothing to base this question off of, and the question is entirely based on the assumption that one or the other "poofed" into existence. Until you can prove that happened or could happen, this question has no basis.

Time as in, say, 7 'o clock? Or time as in change?
