Don't Be a Hero and Divide by Zero

[bommel]

No, he'll just beat the crap out of it until it divides itself.

Yeah but the result is the same ^^

Look whar I can do: 0/0
Divide 0 by itself

[Étienne]

I divided and got this...

['Oma Tirea]

I did more than just divide by 0....
I raised 0 to the power of 0 and got:

[Swoka Ikran]

Any number raised to a power of 0 will equal 1. That includes 0.

Put 0^0 into google...

I'm afraid you haven't seen the whole equation.  It's really simple: ((0^0)/0)/log(0).
What do you make of that?

Well, I was using google here. I just tried my TI-83, and it does indeed spit out ERROR: DOMAIN when doing 0^0.

Also, dividing 0^0 by 0 and log of 0 is a sure way to make it invalid...

[P.A.'li makto]

As I've already said in another topic: Nothing can be devided by 0. Not even 0 itself. It's an axiom.

[P.A.'li makto]

Any number raised to a power of 0 will equal 1. That includes 0.

Put 0^0 into google...

And it's also false! It does not include 0!

[bommel]

And it's also false! It does not include 0!

isnt 0^0 an indeterminant? more on x^0=1

[kewnya txamew'itan]

isnt 0^0 an indeterminant?

I believe so. That said, unlike x/0, there is a limit for 0^0 which is 1.

TRUE. but that is just the lim of x/0 x-->0...not the actual value of 0/0.

[kewnya txamew'itan]

There is no limit for x/0 as x--> 0 because you get different answers if you approach from the negative or positive direction (you get + or - infinity as the limit if you exclude values either > or < 0) whereas x^x does have a limit as x -> 0 (in fact it actually just has a removable discontinuity as the value is the same everywhere other than at 0).

this is also true...
