Question
(-1)¹⁰⁰⁰ का मान है:
- A. -1
- B. 1 (Correct answer)
- C. 1000
- D. -1000
Correct Answer
Option B — 1
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is 1.
Key Points
- (−1) raised to an even power is +1; raised to an odd power it is −1.
- 1000 is even, so (−1)^1000 = 1.
Exam Tip
- Only the parity of the exponent matters, never its size. (−1)^999 = −1, (−1)^1000 = 1.
Additional Information
- The same parity rule governs signs generally: a product of an even number of negative factors is positive, an odd number negative.
- Related standard results: a⁰ = 1 (a ≠ 0), a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ, and (−1)ⁿ + (−1)ⁿ⁺¹ = 0 for every integer n.
