Are there any other shorter expressions for 8 by manipulating exactly 4 4?












1












$begingroup$


The label $4times 4 -4 -4$ for 8 seems to be too long. I am looking for other shorter ones while maintaining the constraint of only using four 4.

Are there such expressions?






integer-partitions

Here is one: $frac{4times4}4+4=8$



Here is another one: $frac{4!}{4-frac44}=8$

We have $8=4+4^{4/4}$, which plays nicely with your existing $4=4+4^{4-4}$.



Edit: Or $8=4+log_4 4^4=log_4 4^{4+4}$, if you want to bring in a new ingredient.

            Fünf verschiedene schottische Single-Malt-Whiskys Als Single-Malt-Whisky oder kürzer Single Malt werden Whiskys bezeichnet, die zwei besondere Bedingungen erfüllen: Sie stammen zum ersten aus einer einzigen Brennerei, sind also kein Verschnitt aus mehreren Whiskysorten (daher Single , deutsch: einzeln). Zum zweiten wird als Getreide ausschließlich gemälzte Gerste verwendet (deswegen Malt , deutsch: Malz). Der Zusatz Single Malt wird als Prädikat verstanden, die so ausgezeichneten Whiskys sind in aller Regel besonders hochwertig. Hinzu kommt ihre besonders lange Lagerung, die Reifungszeit währt oft ein Jahrzehnt und länger.
