what is the symbol of undefined in math??


Answer:

There is no symbol that literally means “undefined” as far as I know.

Dividing a number by zero is usually considered undefined. It is often represented with the word UNDEF.

Dividing by zero is not considered infinity (∞), it is UNDEF.

Assuming a number is positive, dividing it by a very small positive number that approaches zero would yield +∞. Dividing by a very small negative number that approaches zero would yield -∞. There is no way to know which it is. The result is UNDEF.



Thanks for writing.
