I think the division by cero is pretty clear, isnīt it? Now we have come to a linüistic cundrum: undefined or undetermined. And now, it makes me wonder. Undefined: We say something is not defined when there is no way you can do it. For example, the functions. Lets say square root of -1 is not defined for the Domain of negative real numbers. So, undefined means there is no way to do that calculation in that given systems. Now Undetermined: There is no way to know if something is tru or false. This has to do more with the value of a certain result than the operation itself. The result of the square root of -1 is undetermined īcause we can not calculate it in the real numbers. Hope it makes it clear
