0

it is a domain error when trying to take 0 to the -1 power, but other negative powers are still just 0 (the same as positive) I'm not sure why -1 isn't though.

I guess that's what the calculator said. Taking zero to a negative one power (or any negative power) is the same as 1 divided by 0, which is undefined. You could say it's infinity, but the limit does not exist.

  • If you approach from the right (positive side) you go towards positive infinity.
  • If you approach from the left (negative side) you go towards negative infinity.
