Real Powers with Positive Exponent Are Weakly Monotone

For a positive exponent, the real power is nondecreasing in its base on the nonnegative reals.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Line: Standing Notation and Background for Calculus on Intervals, let tat^{a} be the real power of Real Powers (i) and Real Powers (ii), and let s,t,a∈Rs,t,a\in\mathbb{R}.

If a>0a>0 and 0≤s≤t0\le s\le t, then

sa≤ta.s^{a}\le t^{a}.
