What is the value of $1^i$? - Mathematics Stack Exchange There are infinitely many possible values for $1^i$, corresponding to different branches of the complex logarithm The confusing point here is that the formula $1^x = 1$ is not part of the definition of complex exponentiation, although it is an immediate consequence of the definition of natural number exponentiation
Formula for $1^2+2^2+3^2+. . . +n^2$ - Mathematics Stack Exchange $ (n+1)^3 - n^3 = 3n^2+3n+1$ - so it is clear that the $n^2$ terms can be added (with some lower-order terms attached) by adding the differences of cubes, giving a leading term in $n^3$ The factor 1 3 attached to the $n^3$ term is also obvious from this observation
How can 1+1=3 be possible? - Mathematics Stack Exchange Hi, welcome to Math SE! Can you show us the proof you're looking at? There are a lot of false proofs of this sort out there, typically involving division by 0, I would imagine that's probably the gimmick in the proof you've found Here's a helpful link to get a sense for how to use MathJax
