What is the additive identity property of zero?

  1. For any number 'a', a + 0 = a

  2. For any number 'a', a - 0 = a

  3. For any number 'a', a * 0 = 0

  4. For any number 'a', a / 0 = 0


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The additive identity property of zero states that adding zero to any number does not change the value of that number.

What is the multiplicative identity property of zero?

  1. For any number 'a', a + 0 = a

  2. For any number 'a', a - 0 = a

  3. For any number 'a', a * 0 = 0

  4. For any number 'a', a / 0 = 0


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The multiplicative identity property of zero states that multiplying any number by zero results in zero.

What happens when you divide any number by zero?

  1. The result is zero

  2. The result is infinity

  3. The result is undefined

  4. The result is equal to the number being divided


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Division by zero is undefined in mathematics because it does not have a meaningful interpretation.

What is the value of 0^0?

  1. 0

  2. 1

  3. Undefined

  4. Infinity


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The value of 0^0 is undefined because it is an indeterminate form. Raising zero to the power of zero does not have a unique value.

What is the value of 0 factorial?

  1. 0

  2. 1

  3. Undefined

  4. Infinity


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The value of 0 factorial is 1. By definition, n! = n * (n-1) * (n-2) * ... * 3 * 2 * 1. When n = 0, the product becomes 1.

Is zero an even or odd number?

  1. Even

  2. Odd

  3. Neither even nor odd


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Zero is neither even nor odd. Even numbers are integers that are divisible by 2, while odd numbers are integers that are not divisible by 2. Zero does not fall into either category.

What is the reciprocal of zero?

  1. 0

  2. 1

  3. Undefined

  4. Infinity


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The reciprocal of a number is the number that, when multiplied by the original number, results in 1. The reciprocal of zero is undefined because multiplying zero by any number does not result in 1.

What is the square root of zero?

  1. 0

  2. 1

  3. Undefined

  4. Infinity


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The square root of a number is the number that, when multiplied by itself, results in the original number. The square root of zero is zero because 0 * 0 = 0.

What is the cube root of zero?

  1. 0

  2. 1

  3. Undefined

  4. Infinity


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The cube root of a number is the number that, when multiplied by itself three times, results in the original number. The cube root of zero is zero because 0 * 0 * 0 = 0.

What is the fourth root of zero?

  1. 0

  2. 1

  3. Undefined

  4. Infinity


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The fourth root of a number is the number that, when multiplied by itself four times, results in the original number. The fourth root of zero is zero because 0 * 0 * 0 * 0 = 0.

What is the nth root of zero?

  1. 0

  2. 1

  3. Undefined

  4. Infinity


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The nth root of a number is the number that, when multiplied by itself n times, results in the original number. The nth root of zero is zero for any positive integer n because 0 * 0 * ... * 0 (n times) = 0.

Can zero be represented as a fraction?

  1. Yes

  2. No


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Zero can be represented as a fraction in several ways. For example, 0/1, 0/2, 0/3, and so on. All of these fractions are equivalent to zero.

Is zero a rational number?

  1. Yes

  2. No


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Zero is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction of two integers. For example, 0/1 is a rational number.

Is zero an irrational number?

  1. Yes

  2. No


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Zero is not an irrational number because it is a rational number. Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.

Is zero a real number?

  1. Yes

  2. No


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Zero is a real number because it is a rational number. Real numbers are numbers that can be represented on a number line.
