I know that ,



$1) frac{0}{0}$



$2) frac{pminfty}{pminfty}$



$4) 0 times(pminfty) $ are Indeterminate forms.



But in measure theory $ 0 times(pminfty) =0 $



Are there any other indeterminate forms ? And Why ?

    You can add $1^{infty}$ and $0^0$ to that list.

    There's also $infty - infty$, $infty^0$

    "Indeterminate form" really shouldn't be taken to have a hard, well-defined meaning. Division by zero and general arithmetic with infinity is not allowed by the rules of algebra. "Indeterminate forms" are just expressions which naively substitute a limiting value for the limit variable.

The following is a list of indeterminate forms usually encountered:



$$frac{0}{0}$$
$$frac{infty}{infty}$$



$$0 cdot infty$$
$$0^0$$
$$infty - infty$$
$$infty^0$$
$$1^infty$$



Why are they indeterminate?
