Why is (negative constant)^infinity undefined?
Short answer: Because no one has defined it.


EDIT:

And L'Hospital's rule was most likely discovered by Johann Bernoulli...L'Hospital was an aristocrat who paid Bernoulli to teach him calculus.

I was under the impression it's L'Hopital, unless it's actually L'Hospital but with a silent S so people just say L'Hopital to avoid confusion..

It's an alternate spelling, the s is indeed silent.
