    I think you need to redo this video. 1 to the power of 0 is 1. In your answer (before you explained it), you incorrectly said that it is equal to 0. Then in your explanation you contradicted your answer and said it is equal to 1. So both answers cannot be correct, and one is in fact incorrect.

      @@laurendoe168 Every number to the 0 power is 1. The proof involves multiplication/division rules with exponents. (Please note the '^' is used to denote exponent.)
      Multiplication:
      (x^a) * (x^b) = x^(a+b)
      Division:
      (x^a) / (x^b) = x^(a-b)
      So if we use division and the constant a is equal to b, then a - b = 0.
      x^a / x^b = x^0
      Any number divided by itself is 1, and x^0 will always be 1. For 0 this gets a little bit more complicated but 0^0 is still basically 1.

    Didn’t even need to press play before writing this.
    *Problem #1.:* I learned in math class that ANY number to the ⁰ is 1.
    *Problem #2.:* 0÷1=0. If you have nothing, it doesn’t matter how much you divide by, it will always be 0.
    *Problem #3.:* This is not possible to have an answer for, and why calculators return an “E” (ERROR) when you atrempt this on one. Allow me briefly to explain. You see, you’re taking a quantity of something, in this case 1. It could even be 0 or a negative quantity; that doesn’t matter. What DOES matter is when you put that divide sign in between the quantity, and what you divide by, if you put 0 on the other side, the reason it doesn’t work is because you’re not giving anything for the quantity to be divided by. If the question/problem was 1÷1 for example, you’d be able to reach an answer: 1. But you simply cannot divide by 0, because again, that, more simply put, is not dividing at all.

  • @garfieldsmith332

    We were taught the same about any number divided by zero was undefined, however we were also taught that zero divided by zero is "Indeterminate". In there words the answer could be 0, or 1 or 2 or 3 etc. The math teachers' reasoning that by multiplying the answer (0 or , 1 or 2, etc). by the deliminator (zero) always worked out to be the numerator (zero). Zero times 1 is zero, zero times 2 is zero, etc. So in a sense the answer was Indeterminate.

    Sorry but... Any number (including 1) =1.
    0 divided by any number is indeed, 0.
    Any number divided by 0 would theoretically = infinity, therefore, is considered "undefined". If you take an 8-digit calculator, divide 1 by 0.0000001, the answer will be 10,000,000. If you don't insert a digit, that number becomes infinity, making it impossible to display on any size calculator.

      This is not mathematically sound logic, and generally the wrong answer. The term placeholder should not be thrown around like some sort of proof here. Yes, zero is a format placeholder but your claim "a placeholder raised to the power Zero is undefined" is not a mathematically proven attribute of a placeholder. In most situations, 0^0 is going to equal 1.

    Looked it up… yep… any number to zero is 1

    not even modern quantum mechanics tolerates infinities, so why should math's tools. So, we just ignore it's presents.

    You will fail, strange that a math teacher doesn't know that all numbers except 0 (zero) with exponent 0 (zero) will be 1

    For the first time, I gave you a "thumbs down" for this simply because you made an obvious error at the opening of the video. You redeemed yourself in the body, but why haven't you fixed it after so many have pointed it out to you? I still enjoy watching your videos, but you should understand that an obvious mistake like that makes it confusing for those of us who don't always know the higher math you show in your videos. It makes us wonder if you made mistakes in those, too.

    Sorry, but this channel just lost all credibility. 1^0 = 1, not 0.
