To evaluate \(2^{2^{2^2}}\), we can break it down step-by-step:
Start with the innermost exponent: \[ 2^2 = 4 \]
Next, use the result from step 1 as the exponent for the next power of 2: \[ 2^{(2^2)} = 2^4 = 16 \]
Finally, use the result from step 2 as the exponent for the outermost power of 2: \[ 2^{(2^{2^2})} = 2^{16} \]
Now calculate \(2^{16}\): \[ 2^{16} = 65536 \]
So, \(2^{2^{2^2}} = 65536\).
