    There is a proof that 00 \frac{0}{0}00​ is indeterminate because:
    If you divide 0 by tiny positive numbers approaching 0, the answers approach +♾+♾+♾.
    And If you divide 0 by big negative numbers approaching 0, the answers approach −♾-♾−♾.
    Then 00 \frac {0}{0}00​ is indeterminate because it can’t be +♾+♾+♾ and −♾-♾−♾ at the same time.
    Assuming this is true, why can’t 00 \frac{0}{0}00​ be +−♾+-♾+−♾?

    Very Interesting

      What would +-♾ mean anyway?

        Hi @RZ923!
        Well, that's a nice question and is a very deep concept. You can read about it here.
        🙂
