Question

36^x = 0
Solve for x.
I want to say no solution, but my math book says "be clever" so I'm thinking that isn't the answer.

Answer 1

Anything to the 0 power is 1, except 0, but that is undefined...

Answer 2

36^x is never 0

Answer 3

36^x>0

Answer 4

So no solution?

Answer 5

for any real x

Answer 6

at - ∞

Answer 7

right no solution

Answer 8

YES! Thanks for the confirmation.

Answer 9

np

Answer 10

x<2
is very close to zero

Answer 11

finally it is no solution , so doesnt matter how close it is

Answer 12

it has a horizontal aymsptote as akshay said but it never touches the x-axis

Answer 13

^ Drawing skills ^

Answer 14

36^(any power) will be postive

Answer 15

but the question has only two significant figures
if this was a physics question the answer would be x<2
but because it is maths the is no solutions

Answer 16

i don't understand what your saying
i'm sorry unkle

Answer 17

Yeah I don't either

Answer 18

since this question is posted in the math section, i'm looking at it from a mathematical view

Answer 19

i have no knowledge of physics and i think you mean x<-2 based on your graph
because that is where it starts to get really close
however, it only gets close but never touches the x-axis
this is called a horizontal asymptote

Answer 20

yeah i meant when x<-2
