If `**` be a binary operation on N (the setof natural numbers) defined by `a^(**) b = a^(b)`, then find (i) `2 ** 3` (ii) `3 ** 2`

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the binary operation defined by \( a^{(**)} b = a^b \) for the given values.

**Step 1: Evaluate \( 2 ** 3 \)**
According to the definition of the operation, we have:
\[ 2 ** 3 = 2^3 \]
Now, we calculate \( 2^3 \):
