It is defined in those contexts by choice in order to have a consistent system. Hence the "consensus." The wikipedia link gives plenty of well-reasoned examples of why they can be taken as any of these. Here is another resource: https://www.maa.org/book/export/html/116806 EDIT: Also, your explanation is in fact not mathematically sound. For \( 0^n \) your assumption is that \( n \) is a positive integer. And what does it mean to write "zero" copies of the number 0 prior to multiplying? For \( x^0 \), is \(x \) assumed to be a real positive number? Apples and oranges. The former is a discrete problem while the latter is an analytical problem. Graph 3D | QPI | SolveSys |
