Solution solution Comment 2 of 2 |
Graphing the function y=x^(-(x^x)) shows a monotonically decreasing functon in three main segments, starting out resembling a hyperbola, curving sharply to a nearly linear segment, then curving sharply to its almost linear horizontal asymptote.

Zooming in, it shows it reaches 2^sqrt(2) near x=1/4 and calculation verifies this is the solution.

n = 1/4
