Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

0^n = 0

Answer 3

0^0 is indeterminate form

Answer 4

when n is not 0, i should say :)

Answer 5

thanks

Answer 6

:)

Answer 7

Answer 11

im very new to algebra
\[\sqrt[3]{?-125}\] so thats not a real number?

Answer 12

yes don't get cube roots confused with square roots

Answer 13

\[\sqrt[3]{-125}=-5\] because
\[(-5)^3=-125\]

Answer 14

you can take the cube root of a negative number. you just cannot take a square root, fourth root, or any even root of a negative number and get a real number back

Answer 15

The two interesting cases of 0^n are:
\[0^0;0^{\infty}\]
Both of those are indeterminate.
But as long as n is non zero and finite then 0^n=0.

Answer 16

But why are they interesting?
