Exercise 20.4

Prove that : \[({{\mathbf{2}}^{\mathbf{1}/\mathbf{4}}}~.{{\mathbf{4}}^{\mathbf{1}/\mathbf{8}}}~.\text{ }{{\mathbf{8}}^{\mathbf{1}/\mathbf{16}}}.\text{ }\mathbf{1}{{\mathbf{6}}^{\mathbf{1}/\mathbf{32}}}\ldots .\infty )\text{ }=\text{ }\mathbf{2}\]

Solution: We can write the LHS of above equation as: ${{2}^{1/4}}~.\text{ }{{2}^{2/8}}~.\text{ }{{2}^{3/16}}~.\text{ }{{2}^{1/8}}~\ldots \text{ }\infty $ ${{2}^{1/4\text{ }+\text{ }2/8\text{...
