' 1 ' raised to any exponent is ' 1 ' .
When the exponent is zero, or negative, or a decimal,
it's a bit hard to explain why this is. But it's easy to
show when the exponent is an integer.
Just consider this example: What's the value of 1¹⁷ ?
1¹⁷ means
1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x1 x 1 x 1 x 1
See what I mean ?
