Anonymous: You multiply a number by itself when you use exponents. A number multiply to itself once is the square. If it isn't multiplied by itself, then it follows that it is one, because the two definite factors in any number (aside from zero) are 1 and itself. Basically you remove itself as a factor, and seeing as any number is 1 x itself, if you take away "itself", you're left with 1.

Reza: 0^0=1 . It's not a definition ! use a calculator , but use digits near zero like 0.0001 . you can see (0.0001)^0.0001 is almost 1 , if you become close enogh to zero the answer is 1

Anonymous: not defined for x=0, firstly x/x=1, secondly using x^a/x^b = x^(a-b), gives x/x=x^1/x^1=x^(1-1)=x^0, combining the two gives 1=x/x=x^0 proof!!

Anonymous: One rule governing exponents is that x^(y-z)=(x^y)/(x^z). Given that x^1=x, then x^(1-1)=x/x therefore x^0 =1 in any case where x is unequal to 0. The situation where x=0 is much more complicated. There are valid mathematical reasons for the answer 0^0=1, 0^0=0, and 0^0=underfined. Mathematicians most frequently use 0^0=1, because it makes for simpler, more elegant equations in many cases.

Anonymous: We know for example, that the lim x->0 of x^0 would be 1, We also know, however, that the lim y->0 of 0^y would be 0. This shows that there is in fact a discontinuity point at 0, providing for the argument that it 0^0 is undefined. Nevertheless, 0^0 is generally treated as 1 by mathemeticians simply because it is often more useful to do so, simplifying several common equations.

Anonymous: Python (script programming language) says 0^0=1, my Ti-84 says undefined. Any examples (from real life) where 0^0=0, programming language or calculator?
