if anything to the power of 0 is 1, and 0 to the power of anything is 0 then what is 0^0?

It must be 1 since anything to the power of 0 is 1? ?

@strawberry then why is it not 0, since 0 to the power of anything is 0

I feel like its something to with the following

9^3 = 9 x 9 x 9

9^2 = 9 x 9

9^1 = 9 

9^0 = 1

9^-1 = 1/9

Every time we decrease the power, we're dividing by 9, so technically 9^0 = 9 / 9

But 0^0 = 0/0, and you cant divide by 0 in maths, therefore its undefined

@further_maths_student That's what i was thinking that you cant divide anything by 0 so its most likely undefined, Thank you.
