In this page, we'll look at the integer of "1" by placing it to the left of the superpowerition notation symbol:
1 ✱ b
Let's try out some variables for b using the formula a ^ (a ^ (b - 1)) as it becomes 1 ^ (1 ^ (b - 1)).
1 ✱ 2 = 1 ^ 1 = 1 ^ (1 ^ (2 - 1)) = 1 ^ (1 ^ 1) = 1 ^ 1 = 1 |
1 ✱ 3 = 1 ^ 1 ^ 1 = 1 ^ (1 ^ (3 - 1)) = 1 ^ (1 ^ 2) = 1 ^ 1 = 1 |
1 ✱ 6 = 1 ^ 1 ^ ... ^ 1 = 1 ^ (1 ^ (6 - 1)) = 1 ^ (1 ^ 5) = 1 ^ 1 = 1 |
1 ✱ 10 = 1 ^ 1 ^ ... ^ 1 = 1 ^ (1 ^ (10 - 1)) = 1 ^ (1 ^ 9) = 1 ^ 1 = 1 |
1 ✱ 1,000 = 1 ^ 1 ^ ... ^ 1 = 1 ^ (1 ^ (1,000 - 1)) = 1 ^ (1 ^ 999) = 1 ^ 1 = 1 |
Well, it looks like no matter what value we put into variable b, the answer is always going to be 1 in the expression 1 ✱ b.
Therefore, 1 ✱ [any number] = 1.
