Let b b b . . . = x \sqrt b \sqrt{\sqrt b }\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt b}}...=x b ( b b ) . . . = x 2 \ b \ ( \sqrt b \sqrt{\sqrt b })...=x^2 b ( x ) = x 2 \ b \ (x)=x^2 b = x \ b=x

(b^1 /2)b^1 /4)b^1 /8)b^1 /16)...... =b^(1/2+1/4+1/8+........) =b^1 =b,since 1+x+x^2+x^3+.....=1

Can be simplified to b^(1/2) b^!1/4) b^(1/8).... =b^(1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8+...) = b^[(1/2)/(1-1/2)] by sum to infinity = b^1.

Let √b√√b√√√b ... = x

Then X^2 = b√b√√b...

Therefore x^2/x = x = b√b√√b / √b√√b√√√b = b

Therefore x = b
