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.

What is the value for Anything power infinity?

The value of anything raised to the power of infinity depends on the base. If the base is greater than 1, the value approaches infinity. If the base is equal to 1, the value remains 1. If the base is between 0 and 1, the value approaches 0. If the base is 0, the expression is typically considered to be 0, but if it's 0 raised to the power of infinity, it is an indeterminate form.
