I don't logically see how it can be anything but zero.
@HairbrushDiva it's actually 1

@Zenbra How on earth can it be 1? Multiplying anything by zero results in zero.

@HairbrushDiva I know where they are both coming from. They created the loop. That's all I'm going to say. 🙂
@HairbrushDiva it has nothing to do with multiplying

@Zenbra I thought that's what "to the power of" meant. 2 to the power of 2 = 2 times 2 = 4; 2 to the power of 3 = 2 times 2 times 2 = 8, etc.
@HairbrushDiva yes, except when the multiple is zero. It is defined in calculus as a limit.

@Zenbra How do you mean?
@HairbrushDiva it would take too long to define it as 1. But if you like I can post a video on it?

@Zenbra Why can't you just explain it logically?
@HairbrushDiva it one of the most controversial definitions in Math today. For the proof of it just type it into a scientific calculator. Tha's how math is logically defined

@Zenbra You can't even spell "maths" without missing the "s" out. I don't see why your maths should be any better than your English.
@HairbrushDiva in USA english the math becomes singular . You must educate yourself in this . Stop making a fool of yourself. I am not asking you to understand my math , I am hoping you understand the calculator answer..lol

@HairbrushDiva He spelled it right, not to get in-between the two of you. 🙂
@maskedbandit thank you .

@maskedbandit We always called it maths when I was in school. Nobody called it "math". It doesn't look finished.
@HairbrushDiva in British English it's Maths. In Usa English it's Math. But why would my English language have anything to do with my Math or Maths? Such a silly argument you make..hahahah
