Is x^x^2 is equal to x^2x or not?

Question



Answer 1

Is x^x^2 is equal to x^2x ?

Remember P-E-M-D-A-S ? The Order of Operations.

Exponents are special: they go top-down (do the exponent at the top first).

x^x^2 = x^(x^2) This is not the same as x^(2x)

Because x^2 is not the same as 2x,

Answer 2

x^{x^2} ≠ x^2x
