This is a tricky one. really
we do know that x is between 0 and 1. as such, it is a fraction positive
Now, we do also know that the more a fraction is raised to a power the more the value will get smaller

So the difference between \(š„\) and \(š„^5\) is greater than the difference between \(š„^2 \) and \(š„^3\)
