# LATEX: How to represent root(2)^root(2)

In latex, how would one represent \math{sqrt{2} ^ sqrt{2}} (or root(2)^root(2)? I tried to respresent it as I did above, but there is an error "! Missing { inserted."

\documentclass{article}
$\sqrt{2^{\sqrt{2}}}$
$\bigl(\sqrt{2}\bigr)^{\sqrt{2}}$

To make them inline, use $instead of $...$ \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} $\sqrt{2^{\sqrt{2}}}$$ \sqrt{2^{\sqrt{2^{\sqrt{2}}}}}$or$ \sqrt{2}^{\sqrt{2}^{\sqrt{2}}}$\end{document}  - How would one do root(2) ^ root(2) ^ root(2)? And also how would one have that text not centered on the page. I am looking to make the sentence: Let x be [ (\sqrt{2})^{(\sqrt{2})}^{\sqrt{2}} ] – Jim Sep 4 '14 at 1:29 @Jim Please see the update. – Harish Kumar Sep 4 '14 at 1:55 Thanks, that was really helpful. – Jim Sep 4 '14 at 2:09 @Jim You are welcome.
