exponentiation - Why is 00 also known as indeterminate?




I've seen on Maths Is Fun that 00 is also know as indeterminate. Seriously, when I wanted to see the value for 00, it just told me it's indeterminate, but when I entered this into the exponent calculator, it was misspelled as "indeterminant". Let's cut to the chase now. I've seen this:50=140=130=120=110=100=1and this:05=004=003=002=001=000=0Right here, it seems like 00 can be equal to either 0 or 1 as proven here. This must be why 00 is indeterminate. Do you agree with me? I can't wait to hear your "great answers" (these answers have to go with all of your questions (great answers). What I mean is that you have to have great answers for all of your questions)!


Answer



Well, any number raised to the power of zero does equal 1 because the base, or the number being raised to any power, gets divided by itself. For example, 30 equals 3/3, which equals 1, but 00 "equals" 0/0, which equals any number, which is why it's indeterminate. Also, 0/0 is undefined because of what I just said.
