Write a power represented with a positive base and a positive exponent whose value is less than the base.

Full solution

Q. Write a power represented with a positive base and a positive exponent whose value is less than the base.
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem.\newlineWe need to find a power with a positive base and a positive exponent such that the value of the power is less than the base. This means we are looking for an expression of the form beb^e where b>1b > 1, e>0e > 0, and be<bb^e < b.
  2. Choose a base: Choose a base greater than 11. Let's choose a simple base, for example, b=2b = 2, which is a positive integer greater than 11.
  3. Choose an exponent: Choose an exponent between 00 and 11. Since we want the value of the power to be less than the base, we need an exponent that is between 00 and 11 (not including 00). Let's choose e=0.5e = 0.5, which is a positive number less than 11.
  4. Calculate the power: Calculate the power.\newlineNow we calculate 20.52^{0.5}, which is the square root of 22. The square root of 22 is approximately 1.4141.414, which is less than the base 22.
  5. Verify the value: Verify that the value of the power is less than the base.\newlineSince 1.4141.414 (the value of 20.52^{0.5}) is less than 22 (the base), we have found a power that meets the criteria.
