unable to get an answer for .11 to the 300th power
Here you go : http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=.11^300
That is because this calculator cannot handle very large or very small numbers. That is why it sometimes says "infinity". At any rate, here is the answer to your question of .11^300=2.6170..... X 10^-288.
many thanks to you both.
