Hmmm, this not only assumes that x is real but its also only one out of an infinite number of "solutions" for (x^i)^i.
Quite right. But, at best, Mathcad is never going to give more than the simplest solution to these sort of questions (any more than it gives an infinite number of solutions to arcsine(theta), say), so I stuck to the simplest!
That said, your reply is likely to be more useful than mine to Loi Le if he's just trying to educate himself about these relationships - where just relying on software could be misleading.
