Problem 51274. Solve a nonlinear difference equation

Consider the difference equation a_{n+1} = a_n^p with the initial (n = 0) value a0. If a0 is 2 and p = 2, then a1 = 4, a2 = 16, a3 = 256, etc.
Write a function that takes two values of n and the corresponding values of a_n and returns the initial value a0 and the exponent p.
