No, limit can tend to any finite number including 0. It is also possible that the limit does not tend to any finite value or approaches infinity.
Example:
The limit of x^2+5 tend to 6 as x approaches -1.

The limit is 2. (Take the deriviative of both the top and bottom [L'Hôpital's rule] and plug zero in.)
infinity? Infinity over zero is undefined, or complex infinity depending on numbers you are including in your number system.
Calculus is about applying the idea of limits to functions in various ways. For example, the limit of the slope of a curve as the length of the curve approaches zero, or the limit of the area of rectangle as its length goes to zero. Limits are also used in the study of infinite series as in the limit of a function of xas x approaches infinity.
The question doesn't make sense, because any nonzero number raised to the zero (0) power (exponent) will always equal one (1).
