1 ) ( n n ) n n = n n n n = n n n + 1 1)\large{ \left( { n }^{ n } \right) }^{ { n }^{ n } }={ n }^{ { n\cdot n }^{ n } }={ n }^{ { n }^{ n+1 } } 2 ) ( n n n ) n = n n n n = n n n + 1 2)\large{ \left( { n }^{ { n }^{ n } } \right) }^{ n }={ n }^{ { n }^{ n }\cdot n }={ n }^{ { n }^{ n+1 } } Also, statement above is true .

Brilliant, in fact the cofficients of n in first and second equation namely n x n^n and n^n x n are equal and we don't need to solve it further than that.

In the 2) why didn't the outer n multiply the top most n inside the bracket.

Or simply ( n n ) n n = n n n n = ( n n n ) n (n^n)^{n^n}=n^{n•n^n}=(n^{n^n})^n just used laws of indices.

Let us prove the truth by putting l o g log on both sides of the equation.

l o g ( n n ) n n = l o g ( n n n ) n \therefore log (n^{n})^{n^n} = log \big( n^{n^n} \big) ^n .

Hence, n n l o g ( n n ) = n l o g ( n n n ) n^n \: log (n^n) = n \: log \big( n^{n^n} \big) .

Therefore, we have n n × n l o g ( n ) = n × n n l o g n n^n \times n \: log \, (n) = n \times n^n log \: n .

Here, both the sides of the equation are proved to be equal. Hence, for all positive integer n, the identity is t r u e \boxed{true} .

Let x = n x = n , y = n y = n , and z = n n z = n^n . Then the statement becomes ( x y ) z = ( x z ) y (x^y)^z = (x^z)^y , which is true for all x , y , z x, y, z (both expressions simplify to x y z x^{yz} ).

Yes naming the variables makes it easier to understand.

I claim that this is true \boxed{\text{true}} . We have ( n n ) n n = ( n n ) n 1 × n n = ( n n ) n + 1 ( n n n ) n = n n n × n 1 = ( n n ) n + 1 \begin{aligned}(n^n)^{n^n}=(n^n)^{n^1\times n^n}=(n^n)^{n+1}\\ \left(n^{n^n} \right)^n=n^{n^n\times n^1} = (n^n)^{n+1}\end{aligned} They are the same, so the answer is true.
