Dtermine the number of multiplications used to find x2k


Question: Determine the number of multiplications used to find \(x^{2^{k}}\)  starting with x and successively squaring (to find \(x^{2}, x^{4}, \)   and so on). Is this a more efficient way to find \(x^{2^{k}}\) than by multiplying x by itself the appropriate number of times?

Please show all your work and give an explanation of steps
