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 just used laws of indices.
Let us prove the truth by putting l o g on both sides of the equation.
∴ l o g ( n n ) n n = l o g ( n n n ) n .
Hence, n n l o g ( n n ) = n l o g ( n n n ) .
Therefore, we have n n × n l o g ( n ) = n × n n l o g 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 .
Let x = n , y = n , and z = n n . Then the statement becomes ( x y ) z = ( x z ) y , which is true for all x , y , z (both expressions simplify to x y z ).
Yes naming the variables makes it easier to understand.
I claim that this is 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 They are the same, so the answer is true.

1 ) ( n n ) n n = n n ⋅ n n = n n n + 1 2 ) ( n n n ) n = n n n ⋅ n = n n n + 1 Also, statement above is true .
