[maths] 0^0 = ?

[old.VR-]

if x^0 is always one and 0^x is always 0 what is 0^0?

 

[Munkey-]

0 i belive.


but dont believe me. I'm only a year 10 GCSE student who doesnt understand a single bloody thing and has to take this for A-level

 

[(Shovel)]

0.
There is a clause that says X^0 is always 1 when X != 0

 

[Stazbumpa]

Is this algebra? If so you can fuck off posting this shit right now.
Algebra is wank and was the bane of my life at school.


Year 10? They had just started that bollox when I was leaving school. I prefer the old 4th year 5th year etc system.

He would have outshined you, but for the small fact that he's wrong. 0^0 is actually 1.

 

[Furr]

it is actually 1, im afraid

 

[Munkey-]

ah well.

I reallllllly wanna do psychology.
(i chose crap GCSE subjects:

Geo
Hist
ICT
Seperate sciences)

STFU you fooking sourthern cunt.

... am I convincingly Manc yet?

 

[nath]

I used to know about this stuff, can someone remind me quickly WHY x^0=1? as I said I used to know, but have completely forgotten the proof :/

 

[(Shovel)]

I have to concede, I have no idea either (I did get it wrong). I could understand it being infinite, but 1? Not sure about that at all.

 

[FatBusinessman]

In any mathematical group G, x^0 is equal to the identity element, which in the case of multiplication with real (or even complex) numbers, is 1.

 

[FatBusinessman]

Trust me, I do double maths. (Being the sad goit that I am)

 

[Hashmonster]

ignore x list = plonk?

 

[(Shovel)]

And WTF is G?

 

[*charlton_thd*]

Hey, I got kicked out two years running!

As to why it's 1, I used to know, but it's long gone now. Funnily enough, I've never needed it irl. Like the Colour Sub-carrier Frequency - I used to know it to about 12 decimal places, now all I remember is it's 4.43 MHz, but I'm a little vague on what it's for...

All I need now is to know that with *this* lens in *this* projector with *that* size screen, the set goes *here*.

...I can still do pi, though! 3.1415926536etcetc

You're doing P6? Rah, what other modules have you done? I'm kinda glad I'm only doing single Maths: P1, M1, S1 (S1 is crap), P2, P3 and M2 next year .

Already done: P1, P2, P3, P4, S1, S2, M1, M2

Doing over the next month or so: P5, P6, S3, M3


I do waaaaay too much maths.

 

[(Shovel)]

D1 was a piece of piss, you should have done that

 

[Mellow-]

Maths sucks.

We tried to swap S3 for D1, but our teachers said no
