The number of exponents to the power of x is infinite. Have fun !
Callipygous Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 wouldnt that have to be a number that is larger than 1 by an infinitely small amount?
blue_cristal Posted June 30, 2007 Author Posted June 30, 2007 wouldnt that have to be a number that is larger than 1 by an infinitely small amount? Not exactly. By the way, the solution of this equation has an exact result. Approximations and guesses would not do it.
