Root is same as reciprocal of power

Take to 0 power = take to power 0 over any number

0 root = must divide by 0

However, I just looked at your two rules.

It would seem that if you use the converse of any real number to the 0th power, you find that 0 root 1 is all real numbers, except zero.

When will these loving schools learn that grades =/= aptitude

The same time they learn that a huge majority of the stuff they force on students will never be used. Never.

So, I don't know where I suddenly became some kind of MATH WIZZUM. It's an interesting question that I'm sure has been explored, but your proof makes mathematical if not logical sense. Another way of proving this would be, I believe, to make a graph y=xth root 2 or whatever. I don't know if that produces a continuous graph, but if there was a vertical asymptote over 0, that would also prove this.

Also, in the vein of general bullstuffting about school, I took Math III in eighth grade, didn't do my homework and got a B or some stuff confining me to Algebra I for 9th grade. I then took Geometry over the summer online and am now in Algebra II.

Online courses are awesome. I did a semester of Geometry in two weeks.

Also, if taking 1 to the 0th root = all real numbers except 0, then wouldn't x/0 = all real numbers.

But then taking the 0th root of zero, or 0 to the power of all real numbers would equal 0 unless that real number was 0.

Which would mean the converse suggests you can take 0 to the 0th power.

I've always thought anything diveded by 0 is the number its divided by. example there are 4 out of 0 apples. Therefore, there are 4 apples. Why? because there were no apples to start with, thefore you add 4 apples, naking ti 4 apples.

So, as long as this argument doesn't have any logical flaws.

- You can divide by 0
- You can take 0 to the 0th power
- You can find the 0th root of things

Oh my.

Anyone feeling empty?

x / 0 = INFINITY

0√1 = x
x0 = 1
x0 = x/x
x/x = 1



You squared x, and that's for square roots. 1 roots do not work that way.
BEAT IT.

I always thought that anything to the zero power equals zero.
My logic is as follows:
2 squared = 2*2 (there are two instances of 2 in the equation)
2 to the zero power = [blank] (there are no 2s)



Because anything divided by itself is one and anything to the power of 0 is 1.

It's right there in his post.

I just don't see how x0 = x/x
