What is the value of 0^0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. 1 b. undefined c. infinitely large d. 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried 1 but it's wrong

geerky42 (geerky42):

It's b.

OpenStudy (castiel):

It's undefined because the function x^y is not continuous at the origin but you'll learn more about that when you take calculus. Just for now remeber that 0^0 is not defined

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thank you!

OpenStudy (castiel):

similiar stuff that is not defined infinity-infinity, infinity*0 etc.

geerky42 (geerky42):

Here's explanation, if you want. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRRolKTlF6Q&feature=youtu.be&t=6m45s

I wish I could give you both medals.

geerky42 (geerky42):

Give medal to user with lower SS :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

May i ask one more question?

OpenStudy (castiel):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simplify \[y ^{a}y ^{ab}x ^{a}\] \[a. (y ^{a(1+b)})(x ^{a})\] \[b. (xy ^{ab})\]

OpenStudy (castiel):

Ok do you remember how to multiply exponentials? They have to have the same base so let's call it x. \[X ^{a}*X ^{b}=X ^{a+b}\]

OpenStudy (castiel):

I won't give you the answer, but try to work it out now and tell me what you think the answer is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got a as the answer.

OpenStudy (castiel):

Correct, just remember the multiplication rules and you're golden.

Thank you
