Re: Need help to prove

Hi;

You can not prove that because 2^4  = 4^2 and
2 ≠4


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
