    Since \(3^{\dfrac{1}{3}}>4^{\dfrac{1}{4}}>5^{\dfrac{1}{5}}>...\) we have \(y^z\ge z^y\) if \(y\ge3\).

    Since \(1\le x\le y\), the only possible values for (x, y) are (1,1), (1,2), (2,2). These lead to the equations \(1+1=z,1+2^x=z,4+2^z=z^2\).

    The firt equation has the unique solution (1,1,2).

    The second equarion has no solution because \(2^x>z\).

    The third equation has also no solution since \(2^x\ge z^2,z\ge4\) and (2,2,3) is not a solution.

    So the equation has unique solution (1,1,2).

    Since 313>414>515>... we have yz≥zy if y≥3

    .

    Since 1≤x≤y

    , the only possible values for (x, y) are (1,1), (1,2), (2,2). These lead to the equations 1+1=z,1+2x=z,4+2z=z2

    .

    The firt equation has the unique solution (1,1,2).

    The second equarion has no solution because 2x>z

    .

    The third equation has also no solution since 2x≥z2,z≥4

     and (2,2,3) is not a solution.

    So the equation has unique solution (1,1,2).
