[@qwerty_ytrewq4452]

@@TeFurto777 Oh there is one good example in another comment. (assuming we are working under principal branch) on one hand: ln(e^(2pi i))=ln(1)=0, on the other hand 2pi i ln(e)=2 pi i. But clearly 0 does not equal 2 pi i! So this is a valid example showing ln(a^b) does not equal b ln(a). Of course, this isn't really ln(x^x) but it gives you an idea (if I give an example with ln(x^x) there will be a lot of computations, but if you insist, I'll try). The issue is branch cut and the definition of log. It turns out if we want to generalize log into the complex plane in a nice way (differentiability/analyticity), the most natural definition would leave a ray of undefined points starting at 0. Turns out there are multiple possible way of defining log based on where the ray is pointing at. In fact, near the ray, the function has a gap. Take a look at the right side of the picture. functions.wolfram.com/ElementaryFunctions/Log/visualizations/5/02/imagetext/0031/text31.gif (the left graph is the real part of the log function, and right graph is the complex part) This gap causes issues. And (this part i am not so sure), ln(x^x) and xln(x) will differ by a constant multiple of the "gap" size (which turns out to be 2pi i).

But you can. Perhaps it's mostly circumstantial, but this can be seen when you consider the complex number in euler's form, and rewrite it in polar form. e^theta(i) * e^beta(i) = (cos(theta)+sin(theta)i) * (cos(beta)+sin(beta)i). This is further simplified to cos(theta)cos(beta) + cos(theta)sin(beta)i + cos(beta)sin(theta)i - sin(theta)sin(beta) = cos(theta+beta) + sin(theta+beta)i. We can let (theta+beta) = zeta for simplicity and treat it as a parameter. Meaning the above expression may be simplified to e^zeta(i). Therefore, e^theta(i) * e^beta(i) = e^zeta(i), which means this specific piwer rule is applicable. The same may apply to the other rules I pressume. Please correct me if I am incorrect in this.

x^x= e^(x.ln(x)). Using L’Hôpitals rule you can easily show that x.ln(x)-> 0 as x goes to 0, namely by writing it as ln(x) / (1/ x). Both numerator and denominator go to (minus) infinity as x goes to zero and so you can replace them with their respective derivatives resulting in (1/x)/ (-1/x^2) = -x which goes to 0 as x goes to 0. Therefore 0^0 = 1. More interesting would be x^x = 2. There we get x = e^W(ln 2) as a possible solution, where W is the mentioned Lambert function.

That exponent subtraction property of exponents doesn't work for 0, since that just results in 0 ÷ 0 every time. The best argument I can come up with for x⁰ = 1 is just that it is an empty product, meaning that it is the product of no elements, which defaults to 1, since that is the multiplicative identity and you would want the product of a 1-element list to evaluate to said element. This extends to 0⁰, which then becomes 1. Going the other direction with 1/0 for the argument of a product, you still haven't multiplied any (1/0) terms to cause the product to evaluate to undefined. • Most programming languages accept 0⁰ = 1 as well. • Taylor expansions of functions like cos(x) or eˣ rely on this. • It is useful in combinatorics.

Tbh, I still don't understand why there is "no agreement". When limits are never actually finding the correct answer. They only find the approaching number on a function line and literally anything could be it depending on the function. While a series LITERALLY adds to the number and CAN'T be dependent on a function, because there is only one function there and you just plug a number in and get the correct answer. e^x series clearly proves 0^0 does equal 1. It makes zero logical sense to try and say take the "limit" when trying to get the CORRECT answer to the EXACT number. Is there another series that I don't know where it can give you 0^0 exactly and be a different answer than 1? We also have the definition of anything to power of 0 is equal to 1, why does that stop at 0? Cause you can think its somehow 0/0 or something?

[@qwerty_ytrewq4452]

Can you give a more detailed response to why e^x series proves 0^0 equals 1? Sort of confused because series is also defined as a limit. But I would also say the limit does find actual answer...The formal definition of limit: Epsilon-Delta definition proves the uniqueness and existence of a single limit for every converging sequence, so taking limit does give a unique answer (or I may be confused on what you are talking about). I believe there is no rigorous justification of what 0^0 is, it is more of a debate on which definition is nicer. There are many places where 0^0 is *defined* to be 1 since it is more convenient in many cases.

[@chitlitlah]

x^0 for any number besides 0 is 1. 0^x for any number besides 0 is 0. The limit isn't consistent depending on how you approach 0,0 for x^y. That alone is enough for me to think 0^0 is ambiguous.

It may be defined with a limit to make it infinite terms, but it its not actually "approaching" anything, it actually adds to or we say converge to, not approaching. It actually adds terms to the other terms continuing and WILL get to such number in the end. Like geometric series are infact just limited amount of area of a shape and WILL have a limited area or one correct area no matter. If a series does infact converge it would be no difference to an limited area of a shape just more abstract compared to a geometric series, which is called geometric for a reason, actual shapes. If you can rigorously prove "e^x" 's series is correct, then e^0=0^0/0!. And we know for a fact e^0=1. So if e^0 is equal to one, then 0^0 has to equal to one.

It's treated as a different function than natural log, but there is a complex log function, that takes the natural log of the magnitude, and then adds on the angle (plus any integer multiple of 2*pi) times the imaginary unit. Such that: log(z) = ln|z| + i*(angle(z) + 2*pi*k) where k is any integer The way we can derive it, is as follows: Let z = r*e^(i*t), and let L = a + b*i, where a, b, r, and t are all integers Define L such that: e^L = z Carry out e^L, based on its polar form breakdown: e^(a + b*i) = e^a * [cos(b) + i*sin(b)] Since the magnitude of [cos(b) + i*sin(b)] will always equal 1, no matter what be equals, this means that the magnitude of z is equal to e^a. |z| = e^a Which means: a = ln(|z|) cos(b) = real(z) sin(b) = imag(z) This means that be equals any angle that is a coterminal angle to z, since cos(angle(z)) also equals real(z), and likewise for sin(angle(z)) equaling imag(z). Thus: b = angle(z) + 2*pi*k where k is any integer. Since e^L = z, this means if we solve for a and b, the components of L, the log of z, we show that L = ln(|z|) + i*(angle(z) + 2*pi*k).

Why I'm feeling so disturbed with such a deliberate dealing with complex functions, especially logarithms and exponents which don't provide a single value for each value of complex argument. Especially when he puts multiple values in rhs, but simply cancels exp with log on the left side, while there are multiple values there as well. To me all this videos are to be considered as some type of mental exercise, rather than rigorous solution having anything common to mathematics as a science and just an educational subject, aimed to learn people think critically and outside of the box. But when you omit such crucial details in your solutions that questions even this goal, for you can do something like that in your real life, and it might have much more dramatic effect in your life, than just a bad mark on math 😮

Would someone please write out the list of values of e^W(2nπi) for n=1,-1,2,-2,... in so far W(x) is defined for x=2nπi, and to the extend it can be written out in a KZbin comment, preferably in the form of the complex notation, a+bi? 🙏

[@nanamacapagal8342]

Not only that, the product log also has multiple branches...

[@pepebriguglio6125]

@@nanamacapagal8342 Then I would like to see the values from as many branches as can be made room for in a KZbin comment when each branch exhibits the same number of values as there are branches. So if there are k subbranches with their values written out, then I would like to have each of them contain k values (corresponding to k values of n). I think it would be pretty to look at. And I'm also curious as to how many of the values would contain an imaginary part with 4 successive 9's after the 3. decimal place 🙌

Using the other branches of the W function results in values for x where x^x is not 1, so I'm going to ignore these branches entirely. All values were generated by typing "exp(LambertW(0, n * 2 * pi * i))" into WolframAlpha. Replace n with an integer first. The first value of the W function is the branch, where "0" refers to the principled one. All numbers in the following table are cut off to 10 decimal places. Also, one quickly realizes that values generated from negative and positive n are just complex complements of each other. n ↦ exp(LambertW(0, n * 2 * pi * i)) 0 ↦ 1 1 ↦ 2.2135834259 + 3.1139999484 i -1 ↦ 2.2135834259 - 3.1139999484 i 2 ↦ 3.0341971853 + 5.2243275754 i -2 ↦ 3.0341971853 - 5.2243275754 i 3 ↦ 3.7176120975 + 7.1085493517 i -3 ↦ 3.7176120975 - 7.1085493517 i 4 ↦ 4.3265783964 + 8.8679145247 i -4 ↦ 4.3265783964 - 8.8679145247 i 5 ↦ 4.8865678373 + 10.5434364291 i -5 ↦ 4.8865678373 - 10.5434364291 i 6 ↦ 5.4109995743 + 12.1569423578 i -6 ↦ 5.4109995743 - 12.1569423578 i 7 ↦ 5.9080018511 + 13.7218136986 i -7 ↦ 5.9080018511 - 13.7218136986 i 8 ↦ 6.3829537059 + 15.2470120150 i -8 ↦ 6.3829537059 - 15.2470120150 i 9 ↦ 6.8396407853 + 16.7389157853 i -9 ↦ 6.8396407853 - 16.7389157853 i 10 ↦ 7.2808511214 + 18.2022723323 i -10 ↦ 7.2808511214 - 18.2022723323 i

I'd like to see the plot of x for many values of n to see if there's a geometric pattern to it. Also, I wonder if x^x has nontrivial solutions in quaternions, or if the properties of quaternions make the equation unsolvable.

【The Same #LOGICAL_DISASTER As In Chinese Version】 Is your complex analysis professor majored in PE ?? Do you know ln(a^b) = b ln(a) in complex variable is generally wrong ? If you didn't know, but I've told you in Chinese version, why the logic error is still here? Have you taken response on your major ? or only views , subscribes , or profits ?? 1. Is is true that 0=ln(1) = ln(e^{2pi i}) = 2 pi i ?? 2. If you say Branch Number 1 makes ln(e^{2 pi i}) = 2 pi i. Then according this branch, x^x is obvious NOT 1. I know you knew you've made a mistake. And you don't correct it and post it as another video. this is the worst commercial activity, I think I doubt your video is not for dilivering math but for money, which is of course not the value of math communities.

No. He didn’t. Refer to your line stating 2ipi = 0. Because eulers identity is in polar form, there are infinitely many coterminal angles to theta = 0, and 2ipi + 2pin nEZ happens to be one of them. His identity still holds because he is assuming 0 * any number real or complex is still 0 so 0i = 0.
