it is a domain error when trying to take 0 to the -1 power, but other negative powers are still just 0 (the same as positive) I'm not sure why -1 isn't though.

I guess that's what the calculator said. Taking zero to a negative one power (or any negative power) is the same as 1 divided by 0, which is undefined. You could say it's infinity, but the limit does not exist.

  • If you approach from the right (positive side) you go towards positive infinity.
  • If you approach from the left (negative side) you go towards negative infinity.

What is zero to the power of minus one?

Zero raised to the power of minus one, expressed as (0^{-1}), is mathematically undefined. This is because (0^{-1}) represents the reciprocal of zero, which is not possible since division by zero is undefined. In essence, you cannot determine a value for (0^{-1}).

Which is closer to 0 than 1?

The number 0 is closer to 0 than 1. This is because the distance between 0 and 0 is 0, while the distance between 1 and 0 is 1. In mathematical terms, the absolute value of 0 minus 0 is 0, while the absolute value of 1 minus 0 is 1. Therefore, 0 is closer to 0 than 1.

What is the value for Anything power infinity?

The value of anything raised to the power of infinity depends on the base. If the base is greater than 1, the value approaches infinity. If the base is equal to 1, the value remains 1. If the base is between 0 and 1, the value approaches 0. If the base is 0, the expression is typically considered to be 0, but if it's 0 raised to the power of infinity, it is an indeterminate form.


What is the value of 0 to the power 0?

It is indeterminate as it cannot be sure if it is 0 or 1.
