What is the value of one raised to any exponent

' 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 ?

The value of 1 raised to any exponent would be 1 because no matter how many times you multiply 1 and 1, it will still be one. So 1 to the power of 200 would be one because you are multiplying 1 two-hundred times.

Final Answer: The answer would be one
