  • Why is x^0 = 1? Proof
    Using simple mathematical tools we can prove that x to the power of zero is 1 by dividing indices i.e (x^n/x^n) = x^(n-n) = x^0 and this is equal to 1 because any number divided by the same number is 1.
    This is true for all values of x, except for the special case where x is 0 in which case 0^0 is undefined.

    0^0 is defined to be 1and it is not undefined. It is a convention that 0^0 is one. Bcoz, if this convention is not followed, then binomial theorem, geometric series, and many more theories in mathematics cannot work for some specific cases. EG: The infinite sum of geometric series is :
    1/(1- x) = x^0 + x^1 + x^2 + .....
    ........(for |x| < 1)
    Plugging x = 0, we get,
    1 = 0^0 + 0^1 + 0^2+.......
    Thus,
    0^0 = 1 In most areas of mathematics such as set theory, algebra, etc
    Mathematicians define it to be 1

    The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication. That's the definition. So, if power is 0 then the result can be only 0. Yes, we all were taught the absurd x^0=1 but it's simply wrong by definition.

      x^5 / x^3 = (x* x* x* x* x)/(x* x* x)
      =x^2
      In general, x^n /x^m = x^(n-m)
      Let m=n, this property should still hold.
      x^n /x^n =x^(n-n) =x^0
      Any number divided by itself is 1, x^0 =1.
      1 is, in a sense, to multiplication what 0 is to addition. They’re the identity element , meaning x* 1=x and x+0=x.

  • @knowledgewithvishu__4834

    We may proof it in another way
    i.e
    To prove; X^0 = 1
    Poof;
    Let A = X^0 ------(i)
    taking log both side , we gate
    log(A) = log(X^0)
    log(A) = 0log(X)
    log(A) = 0 ------(ii)
    since log(1) = 0 -------(iii)
    from equation (ii) & (iii) we get
    A = 1
    by putting it in equation (i) we get
    X^0 = 1
    #HENCE PROVED
    like it if you are getting/understood my concept.

    • @BananaCoder
      @BananaCoder Před 6 měsíci

      You can't prove equation 3, the only reason we know that log(1) = 0 is because of the rule that x^0 = 1. If you expand equation 2, then you get 10^0 = A, which is the equation we are trying to prove.

      Example with take a^1÷a^1 = a^1-1 becomes 0
      And if we multiply a^1 × a^1 = a^1+1 which equals to a^2

    x⁰ = 1 does not require a proof, because it is part of the *definition* what the expression x^n means.
    x^n, where n is a natural number or zero, is *defined* as x^n = 1 * x * x ... * x with n factors of x. For n = 0 one thus gets immediately x⁰ = 1 as a special case of the *definition* of x^n.
    Alternatively, one may define for natural numbers n (not including 0) that x^n = x * x ... * x with n factors of x. This leaves it open what x⁰ is and hence one needs an explicit statement that x⁰ = 1 as a second part of the definition. Again, x⁰ = 1 is part of the definition of x^n.
    If you think the 1 in the first definition is strange, consider the definition of x^(-n) (where n is a natural number or zero and x 0), which is x^(-n) = 1 / x / x ... / x with n divisions by x. Here one definitely needs a 1 to start with, so there is nothing unnatural about starting the definition of x^n with a 1.

    Your proof is wrong.
    To demostrate that x^(n-n)=(x^n)/(x^n) you need to know that x^0=1.
    (x^m)/(x^n)=(x*x^(m-1))/(x*x(n-1))=.....=x^(m-n)/x^(n-n)=x^(m-n)/x^0=x^(m-n)/1=x^(m-n)
    Thus, to proof that x^0=1, you need to know that (x^m)/(x^n)=x^(m-n) whose proof makes use of x^0=1.

      why x is exception

      I'm not sure if there really is a reasoning for the exception apart from the entire proof collapsing because of a singular case in an infinite number line. Exceptions often occur in mathematics, for example if I were to ask you to graph 1/x, you can graph it for every x value except x = 0, does this mean the graph doesn't exist? of course not! so just because there is an exception, doesn't mean the entire process is invalid. Hope this helps

      For x=0
      It's called indeterminant term aise 8 cases h maths me jinme ans nahi aati uske liye pehle aisi terms ko determinant term me convert karna padta h aur fir solve karna padta h
      & Simple maths me aise terms aati hi nahi h it cames only in derivation & limits

      What is you have an imaginary number for X?

    Using the same kind of trickery: 4 = 8^1 / 2^1 = 8^1-1 / 2^1-1 = 8^0 / 2^0 = 1/1 = 1. So 4=1. Silly, yeah, but no more sillier than this 'proof'. Just stop this nonsense and come clean : mathematics needs x^0=1 for it to work so it makes up all these tricky little ways of justifying its choice.

    It is a wrong proof.

    X^0= 1, X≠0 is BY DEFINITION.
    You don't prove it.
    Your "proof" was actually just a demonstration for why it is a good idea to define X^0 = 1.
