Zero to the zero 1999-12-02
From A middle school teacher:
I am a middle school teacher who is looking for a precise explanation of why zero raised to the zero power is undefined. I am hoping to get an explanation using something other than the fact that diividing by zero is undefined.

Powers of zero 1999-10-31
From Salina Young:
Hello! I have two questions to ask about the power of "0".

First, what is the value of "0' to the power of "0"? And why?

Second, what is the value of "0" to the power of "2" or '3" etc? And why?

Thank you for your help.
