It depends on how b approaches 0
If b is positive and gets closer to zero, then we say b is approaching 0 from the right, or from the positive side. Let's say a = 1. The equation a/b turns into 1/b. Looking at a table of values, 1/b will steadily increase without bound as positive b values get closer to 0.
On the other side, if b is negative and gets closer to zero, then 1/b will be negative and those negative values will decrease without bound. So 1/b approaches negative infinity if we approach 0 on the left (or negative) side.
The graph of y = 1/x shows this. See the diagram below. Note the vertical asymptote at x = 0. The portion to the right of it has the curve go upward to positive infinity as x approaches 0. The curve to the left goes down to negative infinity as x approaches 0.
Answer: There will be two different ways of doing so.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Total number of rocks =38
If we want to groups of 10 rocks or as single rocks then there are 2 different ways ;
<u>Case I:</u>
if we group into 10 rocks
there will be four sets in which Ist set contains 10 rocks
Second set contains 10 rocks
Third set contains 10 rocks
and Fourth set remains with 8 rocks only.
<u>Case II:</u>
if we group as single rocks .
There will be 38 sets .
