hay /sci/ what's 1^∞

well it's indeterminate but shouldn't it be 1?

Unfortunately, you can't put infinity as an exponent. If you look at exponents as an operation (a valid approach), then infinity (in this sense) is not part of any particularly useful number system.

What you're looking for is the limit of 1^n as n->∞

That, my friend, is 1.
