Re: 0^0 equals 1 or undefined?
That is the point! It is one, I agree! But it is also .9999999999...
Do it term by term, it is
.9 + .09 + .009 + .0009 + .00009 + .000009 + ... +
obviously .99999999999... and you used the geometric sum to say it equals 1.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Re: 0^0 equals 1 or undefined?
There is no reason that that sum should be equal 0.999...
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

Please look at the preceding post again. That sum produces an endless bunch of nines! You said it was one because you used this formula
sort of shows that if we do not agree with .999999999... = 1, we have to give that up. I do not want to give it up. It works!

Re: 0^0 equals 1 or undefined?
.9 = .9
.9 + .09 = .99
.9 + .09 + .009 = .999
.9 + .09 + .009 + .0009 = .9999
.9 + .09 + .009 + .0009 + .00009 = .99999
.
.
.
looks to me like it agrees with .9999999...

I do not see 0.999... anywhere in there.

There is a difference between .333... and .333333333... and .333333333333333... ?

Re: 0^0 equals 1 or undefined?
No, of course not. I am just saying that the product of 3 and non-terminating 3's is 1, and not 0.999...
