0^0 =lim_(x→0^+ ) x^x =lim_(x→0^+ ) e^(xln(x)) =e^0 =1 because lim_(x→0^+ ) xln(x)=0 for that we take 0^0 =1 .
$$\mathrm{0}^{\mathrm{0}} ={lim}_{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}^{+} } \:\:\:{x}^{{x}} ={lim}_{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}^{+} } \:\:\:\:\:{e}^{{xln}\left({x}\right)} \:\:={e}^{\mathrm{0}} =\mathrm{1}\:\:{because}\:{lim}_{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}^{+} } \:\:{xln}\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{0}\:{for} \\ $$$${that}\:{we}\:{take}\:\mathrm{0}^{\mathrm{0}} =\mathrm{1}\:. \\ $$

0^0 is not defined 1^(st) step a÷b=(a/b)=c ⇒ a=c×b ⇒ b≠0 because if b=0 we have a÷0=(a/0)=c ⇒ a=c×0=0 example: 5÷0=(5/0)=c ⇒ 5=c×0=0 which is wrong conclusion: a÷0=(a/0) is not defined ⇒ ⇒ a÷b=(a/b)=c for b≠0 2^(nd) step a^n =a×a×a×... (n times) 0^n =0×0×0×... =0 (a^m /a^n )=a^(m−n) ⇒ (a^n /a^n )=a^0 =1 but because of our above conclusion a≠0 ⇒ 0^0 is not defined but sometimes it makes sense to define it for some reasons. in these cases we are free to set the value. f(x)=(x/x)=1 ∀x≠0 ⇒ we can define f(0)=1 to keep the function continous. or f(x)=x^x . usually we want to give it the value of the limit.
