#dividing by zero

[karamatsus-super-cool-advice]

Karamatsu how do you feel about Karacest (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)??~

Hmmmmmm~~

I would be lying to say that I wasn't feeling a little ✨ titillated ✨ at the idea of it...

I cannot deny just how beautiful and impeccable all my precious yume-lovers are, but it is just a fact of life that no one is more beautiful and impeccable as me, myself, Karamatsu Matsuno.

Of course...

It would end up being a complicated situation. As I do love myself, and I know that I do deserve all the attention and adoration there is to be had, so what would happen if the other me recieved more??

I feel like that would be like trying to divide by zero!!

And we all know what happens when you try...

I cannot let the total antihalation of the universe proceed if someone where to successfully divide by zero!!

Oh.

It is decided then. I will just have to train harder. Turn my six pack abs into an eight pack!! I will force myself to fap longer to last longer!! I will do what I must in order to be able to be there more and longer for all my yume lovers so that another me will not cause the end of the world!!

Why can we just make a hole in an equation by multiplying it by (x-n)/(x-n) with n being a number. It’s the same equation, and the hole can be canceled out, so why do we graph a hole there anyway? Couldn’t you just get rid of the whole graph by just replacing n by every x value that exists? Tldr: holes in equations???

(x-n)/(x-n) makes a hole at x=n because, for x=n, there is a zero in the denominator, and as everyone knows, you can’t divide by zero. To explain this fully, let’s graph the function y=(x-2)/(x-2). As you can see from the graph, (x-2)/(x-2) is equal to 1 everywhere except for x=2 where it is undefined (you can use the table function or check the value at x=2 by hovering over the point in Desmos to verify this). 

So, when you multiply anything by 1, you get the same thing, and when you multiply something by ‘undefined,’ you get ‘undefined,’ which is represented on a graph as a hole because no value is returned by the function. This means that when you multiply a function by (x-n)/(x-n), you get the exact same function everywhere except x=n, where you get undefined, which again causes a hole in the graph. 

As to why you can’t ‘cancel’ the (x/n)s, the answer is complicated. The short answer is that it’s a function. Because there is not a single answer, every operation must be done in a way that does not hide or eliminate information, specifically zeroes in the denominator. Here’s why: canceling something in the numerator and denominator only works because it is the same as saying the two expressions are equal, ie 2/2*5=5. However, the same cannot be said for functions which cause zeroes in the denominator because (x-2)/(x-2) *is not equal to 5 when x=2 (because it’s undefined). I know this feels like circular logic, but it’s the best way to explain it.

Slim Pickens well he does the right thing

And he rides the bomb to hell

Yeah he rides the bomb to hell

Watch the pulse, it quickens after every little sting

If you're gonna go to hell

Drink it up you might as well

Are you really gonna take it like that?

Riding on a missile with a cowboy hat?

So one of my sons just dared his brother to divide by zero and he caught fire??? Like chill no need to let it escalate that quickly...

“Putting Our Heads Together” and “Meet Your Night Terrors” (for The Skull Glows Brighter, originally from Dividing By Zero)

Hey @savage-words, I am not sure if this is allowed or not, but these are pics that I made for my Pinterest board Dividing By Zero MONTHS ago. I figured I would bring these up because glowing skulls of one sort of another seems to be a motif in the art on that particular board.

I just realized that instead of working towards my somewhat blurry dream I am sitting here planning 101 shitposts and I don’t know how to feel about that
