Infinite percentage increase.
math, brother.
Sort:
I figured
Infinite zeros is still zero
I figured that too
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
I put (0%+1%) and (0+1%) into a calculator
It said 0 both times
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.
There isn’t an answer, it’s the same as dividing by zero
That’s what this question is asking basically
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
what percentage increase is it going from 0 to 1
