Power Series $0^{0}$



My textbook explains that the power series: $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} x^{n}/n!$ converges for $x=0$ because the terms of the series get the value 0.



My problem with this argument is the first term, which is $0^{0}$. But this is undefined? Someone who can explain this?


Answer



In the context described in the question, it is a convention that $0^0 = 1$.
