| SmokedHostage said: I'm no authority on exponential subject matter, but I've been told numerous times that any integer to the 0 power equals one. My reasoning for this is that the identity property states that a variable * 1 equals 1. With the 0 power the integer is not being multiplied at all, multiple times or otherwise, but 1 can be implied by the identity property. Once again, I'm not an authority but this is just my input. I can be wrong by any means. |
I believe I've just confused myself so let me provide some visuals.
Let's take 3^2. This notation can be interpreted as 3 * 3. By the identity property, it can noted as 1 * 3 * 3 without changing the meaning. Now when you have something like 3^0, 3 does not appear in the interpretation so by the identity it's basically saying 1 *. I believe the same would be true with 0^0.
Yet again, I'm not an authority.
Pixel Art can be fun.
