it is just that ppl have been habituated taking this as the default!

So u will never see ppl taking a/t,at..

my sir told me that we can't take.....i dont get why i shudnt take....he says theres a reason

what there is a reason.. there is no reason..
ask ur sir what is the reason...

actually the only thing is that 1/t is not defined at 0.. so we have to take R\{0} but that is true for both cases.

and there is absolutely no reason! :)
