Answer:

The answer will always be 1

Explanation:

The exponent is how many times the base number is multiplied by itself

For example 2^4 means 2 multiplied by itself 4 times or 2*2*2*2

But it doesn't matter how many times you multiply 1 by itself and it will always be 1

For example 1^5 is 1*1*1*1*1 which is equal to 1. you can even have 1^16 which is 1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1 but the answer is still 1 so the answer will always be 1
