what percentage increase is it going from 0 to 1

Lexhibition

Infinite percentage increase.

KyloAPPROVES

I figured

Infinite zeros is still zero
KyloAPPROVES

I figured that too

Lexhibition

So are you saying it should be more than infinite, or infinite +1 ? grin.png

No, to increase by a percentage would be to multiply something by zero, which always results in zero. Zero isn’t a number, it’s a placeholder, so the rules are different
KyloAPPROVES

I put (0%+1%) and (0+1%) into a calculator

KyloAPPROVES

It said 0 both times

KyloAPPROVES

0×1% would come out the same

Exactly why it is an infinite percentage. If it was a zero percentage, you wouldn't even be trying.

No, infinite doesn’t solve anything, infinite percent of nothing is still nothing

The question was, what percentage increase.... An increase also cannot be zero, therefore the answer cannot be zero.

M1m1c15
There isn’t an answer, it’s the same as dividing by zero
M1m1c15
That’s what this question is asking basically

What is the square root of -1?

M1m1c15
Negative numbers can’t have square roots

True, but they are used in calculations though, so mathematicians gave it an imaginary 'number'.

Google:

The square root of -1 is an imaginary number. It is also written as √-1 = i where i = √-1 and it is called the imaginary unit.

#18 you literally just looked that up

Not true 100% of zero is still zero
