do you mean (−1)^∞   if so:  −1=e^(iπ)   ∴let z=(−1)^x =e^(iπx)   z=cos(πx)+isin(πx)  x→∞  Re(z)=cos(πx)  −1≤Re(x)≤1  −1≤cos(πx)≤1  Im(z)=sin(xπ)  −1≤Im(z)≤1  −i≤isin(πx)≤i    Therefore:  −(i+1)≤z≤i+1  −(i+1)≤(−1)^∞ ≤i+1    If (−1)^∞  is non−complex then:  lim_(n→∞)  (−1)^(2n) =1  If complex:  lim_(n→∞) (−1)^n =z
