It boils down to the comparison of some powers of $2$ and $3$, if I didn't do any mistake, in the following way: $9^{\sqrt{2}}<\sqrt{2}^9$ if $9<2^{\frac{9}{2\sqrt{2}}}$, by using the fact that $\sqrt{2}>1.415$, if $9<2^{\frac{9}{2\times 1.415}}$ if $9<2^{3.18}$ if $3^{100}<2^{159}$ which is true since:

1. $2^{159}>\frac{1}{2}(1,02\times 10^{3})^{16}>\frac{1.32\times10^{48}}{2}=6,6\times10^{47}$.
2. $3^{100}<(6\times 10^{4})^{10}=3^{10}\times 2^{10}\times 10^{40}<6\times10^{4}\times 1025\times 10^{40}=6,15\times 10^{47}$
