#2sqrt(2sqrt(2sqrt(2)))= root(8)(2^15)= 2^(15/8)~~ 3.6680161728#

Explanation:

#2sqrt(2sqrt(2sqrt(2)))#

#= sqrt(2^2*2sqrt(2sqrt(2)))#

#= sqrt(2^3sqrt(2sqrt(2)))#

#= sqrt(sqrt(2^6*2sqrt(2)))#

#= sqrt(sqrt(2^7sqrt(2)))#

#= sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(2^14*2)))#

#= sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(2^15)))#

#= root(8)(2^15)#

#= 2^(15/8)#

#~~ 3.6680161728#

#2^(15/8)~=3.6680161728186849269741663791766#.

Explanation:

#2sqrt(2sqrt(2(sqrt2)))#

#=2sqrt(2sqrt(2*2^(1/2)))#

#=2sqrt(2sqrt(2^(1+1/2)#

#=2sqrt(2sqrt(2^(3/2)))#

#=2sqrt(2*(2^(3/2))^(1/2)#

#=2sqrt(2*2^((3/2)*(1/2))#

#=2sqrt(2*2^(3/4))#

#=2sqrt(2^(1+3/4))#

#=2sqrt(2^(7/4))#

#=2*2^((7/4)*(1/2))#

#=2*2^(7/8)#

#=2^(1+7/8)#

#=2^(15/8)#.

Its numerical value, using scientific calculator :

#2^(15/8)~=3.6680161728186849269741663791766#.
