Since you have already read the post in detail - when you decided to edit - you might be in a good position to judge whether the correction is needed. (My impression is that it is.)
This answer is either wrong or extremely misleading, because it does not at all explain why it inserted the exponential factor and then 'took roots'. @JoséCarlosSantos @XanderHenderson @RRL @user1729
@MartinSleziak “since you have already read the post in detail”. No. The line was long to the point of covering the sidebar links. I shortened it. I don’t even think I read the actual answer...
@user21820 no. It answers the question. It does so successfully. What would make an answer “useful” for that question anyhow? The question has no tangible usage to begin with!
I'm not sure why you don't agree. It's circular. The answer implicitly uses the unjustified fact that for reals x ≥ y and natural n>0 we have x^(1/n) ≥ y^(1/n). This fact requires even more work to prove than the original question! See, the original question can be generalized to the fact that for reals x < y and natural n>0 we have x^n < y^n.
@user64742 It gives absolutely no mathematical answer to the question, as the logical circularity should have been clear from the beginning.
