The plot can also be generated easily on Desmos.

I noticed the following question generated quite a lot of interest on the Internet. Which is larger ##e^{\pi}## or ##\pi^e##? Most (if...

Here is a plot of the region where ##a^b>b^a## I think your rule covers the upper right and lower left quadrants. (the quadrant lines...
