What are you talking about? The statement "h(1/x^x) * h(x^1/x) = 1" could be interpreted in at least four ways:
- \( h\left(\frac{1}{x^x}\right) h\left(\frac{x^1}{x}\right) = 1 \) (with the usual order of operations), or
- \( h\left(\frac{1}{x^x}\right) h\left(x^{(1/x)}\right) = 1 \)
- \( h\left((1/x)^x\right) h\left(\frac{x^1}{x}\right) = 1 \)
- \( h\left((1/x)^x\right) h\left(x^{(1/x)}\right) = 1 \) (assuming the order of operations of "/" and "^" are opposite from their usual order)
I think, second one is the right one.
