I see my dots didn't come out right. I need three dots going on an angle towards the left.

Thanks,
Nancy

Hi Nancy,

the

mathdots package provides \iddots for this.

This is how you can do it yourself:

\documentclass{article}
\newcommand*{\rddots}[1]{\cdot^{\cdot^{\cdot^{#1}}}}
\begin{document}
\[
    x^{x^{\rddots{x}}}
\]
\end{document}
