Question
$$2^{2^2}+1 = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 2^{2^2}+1 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]2^4+1 &= 0&& \\[1 em]16+1 &= 0&& \\[1 em]17 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 17 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
