0^0 = indeterminate...its universal maths and GMAT can't define anything other than that...do you have any confusion or question regarding this ...please post question in reference to this..

It's an interesting question - https://www.faqs.org/faqs/sci-math-faq/s ... bers/0to0/

It tends to 1 and considered to be 1 in most cases.

Ajith I saw your link ..and reallya good explanation is being posted there..
Well I want to say that if you go for exact value of 0^0 ...the value is indeterminate...
Well in case of calculus we go for limiting values ....
so if the question is lim x->0 [x^0] surely it will give you a value =1
because the limiting value of x tends to 0 but it is not exactly 0. and for the values which is not exactly 0 ..u know by mathematical rules x^0 =1 for x=/=0

so it not tends but it is actually 1 for all the values x->0 but = indeterminate for x=0.

Hope it solves the problem..

See this question... Although I initially mistook J^J and J^2 and solved; this is keeping me thinking.

Yeah Ajith you have given good example ...In that post some people have taken 0^0 = 1 ..but that is not correct..
and in the last reply "November" has replied too that "0^0 is undefined".
Well I have to do a bit of research work more.....But I am sure that 0^0 is indeterminate....
I will soon post sth new if I happened to find anything interesting...
Ajith if you find something related to this please post it..we really need to discuss it.

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
