Is it impossible to raise a number to the power of 2 and a value less than the orginal number?
Sure !!!......consider....
(1/2)^2 = 1/4 and 1/4 < 1/2
In fact, if the base is > 0 but < 1, this will always happen.....!!!!
yeah if the exponent or base is negative
The first guest was incorrect, listen to what cphil said.
If the base is negative...
Say -1
-1^2 = 1
1>-1
This happens with all negative numbers squared, or put to the power of an even number. <3
