Evaluate the expression for s = –10, t = 0, and u = 12. Simplify your answer.

Question

stu
s − u
=

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \(\frac{stu}{s - u}\) with the values \(s = -10\), \(t = 0\), and \(u = 12\), we follow these steps:

1. Calculate \(stu\): \[ stu = (-10)(0)(12) = 0 \]

2. Calculate \(s - u\): \[ s - u = -10 - 12 = -22 \]

3. Now substitute these values into the expression: \[ \frac{stu}{s - u} = \frac{0}{-22} \]

4. Simplifying this, we find: \[ \frac{0}{-22} = 0 \]

Thus, the value of the expression is \(\boxed{0}\).
