There are definitely multiple ways to do this, but this works. For those who are familiar with " ϵ δ \epsilon-\delta " (i.e. Weierstrass limit definition) limit proofs: x 1 < δ x 2 1 = x + 1 x 1 < x + 1 δ = x 1 + 2 δ < ( x 1 + 2 ) δ < ( δ + 2 ) δ |x-1|<\delta\Rightarrow |x^2-1|=|x+1||x-1|<|x+1|\delta=|x-1+2|\delta<(|x-1|+2)\delta<(\delta+2)\delta . Since ϵ = δ 2 + 2 δ \epsilon=\delta^2+2\delta is a one-to-one function for all positive ϵ \epsilon when the domain of consideration is only the positive reals, then, for any given ϵ > 0 \epsilon>0 , we can simply choose δ \delta to be the positive root of the equation δ 2 + 2 δ ϵ = 0 \delta^2+2\delta-\epsilon=0 , which proves the limit is 1.

lim x 1 x 2 = 1 2 = 1 \huge \displaystyle \lim_{x\to 1} x^2 = 1^2 = \boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{1}}}}

it is determinate form we just put x=1 to get answer

You should select the topic as ''Calculus''.

@Munem Shahriar i changed topic already.Can you help me in telling what is 1 power infinity?

Saksham Jain - 3 years, 6 months ago

@Saksham Jain 1 1^{\infty} is undefined.

@Munem Shahriar but how?? i am confused. is limit x tending to infinity 1^n also undefined.how??

Saksham Jain - 3 years, 6 months ago

@Saksham Jain Yes. The only way to define 1 1^{\infty} is limit process.

@Munem Shahriar if i do it as lim x \lim_{x \to \infty} 1 x 1^x then also is it undefined .are you on slack??

@Saksham Jain No, I said before that the only way to define 1 1^{\infty} is limit process. So the answer will be 1 in that case.

@Saksham Jain

is limit x tending to infinity 1^n also undefined.how??

Your second question is ambiguous.
