I know this sounds weird, but my math teacher gave us an extra credit thingy.
1 over 0= ?
I thought it was impossible.
She said there is a special word for it
Can someone please help?

I'm not 100% sure about which word your teacher is looking for but what we call it is undefined.

In normal arithmetic, it is indeed undefined.
