0^(a+bi) |
2020-12-03 |
|
Douglas pose la question : I realize raising 0^a = 0 if a>0 and undefined if a<=0.
If have read that 0^bi is undefined for all b.
What I don't understand is why 0^(a+bi) = 0 if a and b are not equal to zero.
Is this purely by definition or is there a logical reason why this is the case?
(I have taken Complex Analysis, so have a fairly good understanding of complex numbers.) Penny Nom lui répond. |

Is there an equation to find what percent of 0 is 1? |
2020-03-09 |
|
Asher pose la question : Question: Is there an equation to find what percent of 0 is 1.
I remember learning quite a long time ago that the answer inst 0 and it isn't infinity. I'm pretty sure it was something like %=0 approaching infinity or %=1 approaching infinity. And I know it depends what value you assign the numbers i.e. dollars or temperature. Furthermore, is asking "what percent 1 dollar is of 0 dollars" the same question as "what percent profit do you make from selling something worth 0 dollars for 1 dollar."
Thank you for your time and consideration

Dividing zero by infinity |

Jason pose la question : What do you get when dividing zero by infinity? Our Calculus teacher was pretty sure that the expression was indeterminate from. However, if this is so...Why? Zero divded by any number (except zero) is zero, true. Any number (except infinite) over infinite is zero. So, why isn't Zero divided by infinite zero. A simpler way if I had 4 potatoes and was to split them among 2 friends, each friend would get 2 potatoes. However, if I had 0 potatoes and split them a infinite number of ways, each person would still have 0. Explain please! Penny Nom lui répond. |

David pose la question : I've been to your site and am interested on the subject of division by 0. It's easy enough to give answers, but it's very hard, especially in this case, to make someone understand a mathematical problem. It's been about a year since my Calc class, and we never went over division by 0, only infinite numbers and such. My question is: How would you work a problem of (real number) / 0 ? As ignorant as it may sound to you, I am having trouble grasping this since I've only begun to understand some of it. Perhaps you could help. Harley Weston lui répond. |
