It's not 1 that is exactly the problem. It is also 0. And perhaps - 1 although that is a lot trickier than the other two.
Let's start with one. It give 1^1 = 1 for a power of 1. It gives 1^2 = 1 * 1 for a power of 2. It will give 1^100000 = 1 for a power of 100000.
So the base can be 1 but it is known that any power won't change it's value.
The same can be said of 0. 0^1000 = 0^1 = 0. 0^0 is really a bad dude. You won't learn about that for awhile.
(-1)^11 is different from (-1)^10. The first gives -1 and the second gives 1. So you have to be careful with -1.
There is nothing wrong with (1/4)^3. The power of three and the base of 1/4 are fine. The answer is (1/4)*(1/4) * (1/4) = 1/64 which is perfectly good answer.
It works for negatives too. (-1/2)^3 = - 1/8
<u>Equation/Question:</u>
-6x-(-8)=2
<u>Answer/Way I did it:</u>
1. Remove parentheses.
-6x+8=2
2. Subtract 8 from both sides.
-6x=2-8
3. Simplify 2-8 to -6.
-6x=-6
4. Divide both sides by -6.
<u>x=1</u>

<u>Equation/Question:</u>
−6x−(−8)=2
----------------------
1. Let x=1.
−6×1+8=2
2. Simplify -6×1 to −6.
-6+8=2
3. Simplify -6+8 to 2.
2=2
