lim x 0 x 0 , lim x 0 + 0 x , lim x 0 + x x , lim x 0 x \lim_{x \to 0} x^0 , \quad \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} 0^x \ , \quad \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} x^x,\quad \lim_{x \to \infty} 0^x

Let A , B , C , D A,B,C,D denote the values of the 4 limits above (in that order), respectively.

Find the values of these 4 limits. Submit your answer as the 4-digit integer A B C D \overline{ABCD} .


The answer is 1010.

Part 1:

Something raised to power 0 is 1 and here it is tending to 0 0 0^{0} . That is 0.000000000000..... 1 0 0.000000000000.....1^{0} or negative of this, so answer is 1.

Part 2:

Limit means that x is tending to 0, not 0. So answer is 0 ( n o t 0 ) = 0 0^{(not 0)}=0 .

Part 3:

We can see that moving close to 0, we get 0.001^0.001 which approaches 1. This limit can be evaluated by writing as e x l n x e^{xlnx} and applying LH rule for exponent.

Part 4:

0 0^{\infty} is always 0, whether 0 is exact or tending.

0.000000 1 0.0000001^{\infty} is 0 as for x belonging to (0,1) the answer is always 0.

0.0000000 1 -0.00000001^{\infty} is also 0 as for x belonging to (-1,0) also the answer is always 0, so the limit reduces to 0 as both right and left limit are 0.

Great job! Whatever it goes to infinite, 0 over something should be 0
