So is this the place to hang out when having math in school?

hold it. 0^0 = 0 because you forgot the rule about 0: if 0 is ^x it still becomes zero.
That is, 0^x = 0
we replace x with 0
0^0 = 0
my moot point.

if you were right, Taylor series wouldn't work that well then (see pic)

let's look at the function f(x,y)=x^y = exp[y*ln(x)] . Does it have a limit as we approach the origin?

Independent variables, meaning that one experiment does not rely upon the result of the other.

if you have a fair coin, no matter how much you flip it you'll always have 50% chance of heads and 50% chance of tails

If they're so easy, prove the existence of jordan normal form

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus #1

Integrations of any kind.

That's not middle school work! I learned that back in 10th grade!! High school work!!

That's not middle school work!

i = sqrt(-1)

AJ?

Is there a chance you're an OSU student? A lot of the freshman physicists are asking these questions right now.

By conservation of momentum,

.02kg * 1000 m/s + 1kg * 0 m/s = .02kg * 100 m/s + 1kg * v_block

Solve for v_block.

Kinetic energy is given by

Ke = .5 m v^2 = .5 * 1 kg * (v_block)^2

There you go!

Just so you know, this is a bit more /sci/ than /calc/, although there is math involved.

That's not an equation. Here's your solution, nonetheless.

The basic idea is to take all of the powers, first. Then, because they're all multiplications, you can just sum the exponents to get the answer.

wow. i didnt even know about coefficients to the negative power meaning 1 over the coefficient to the power....thank you soo much...you saved me many headaches...

You can remember intuitively this way: an exponentiation is at its heart just a repeated multiplication. One would think that the opposite of that would then be a repeated division.

you are wrong its 0+0i

>>3922

That's a complex number. He was talking about imaginary numbers.

>>3919 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_(mathematics) I hope you know what a field is now. The real numbers are field. Even rational numbers are a field. Maybe you meant 'plane'?
