Say I have some exponential function floor(a^b)=x where a is irrational and b is an integer.
Is there a way to rewrite this as an exponential expression c^d without the need for a floor function where c is an integer?
For instance, floor(2.67^10) is 18,412, but I could also rewrite it as 2^14.1683587272239 or so but I only found that by arbitrarily choosing 2 as my base and solving for the exponent as log(18,412)/log(2). In this example, 2.67 is still rational but my point is that I want to change the base to an integer.
My question is whether or not I can rewrite the exponential given only floor(2.67^10) -- aka without using the "answer" of 18,412
