Expand description
requires
1 < b,
e1 < e2,
ensures
#[trigger] pow(b as int, e1) < #[trigger] pow(b as int, e2),

Proof that a number greater than 1 raised to a power strictly increases as the power strictly increases. Specifically, given that b > 1 and e1 < e2, we can conclude that pow(b, e1) < pow(b, e2).
