What is the limit of f(x)=0?

Given the function f(x)=0, since this is a constant function (that is, for any value of x, f(x)=0, the limit of the function as xa, where a is any real number, is equal to 0.

More specifically, as a constant function, f(x) maintains the same value for any x. f(1)=f(2)=f(π)=f(e)=f(125856744)=0. Further, as a constant function, f(x) is by definition continuous throughout its domain. Note, however, that if one arrives at a constant function via division or multiplication of non-constant functions (for example, 8xx, there will still exist a discontinuity where the original denominator was 0).

Graphing the function will further prove this point. On the graph f(x)=0, the curve is simply the x-axis, which maintains a constant y-value of 0 no matter the x-value.
