n n =n


Notice that 2 2 ~1.41 and 2~1.41 as well. In fact, 2 2 =2

Here is some proof of that specific case: 2 2 = 2 2 × 2 2 = 22 22 = 22 2 = 2

And the same thing goes for any number, n, where n∊N: n n = n n × n n = nn nn = nn n = n

Here's another proof: n n = n1 n0.5 = n1 - 0.5 = n0.5 = n

And another proof: n n = n so n n = n
