What is the solution to the equation: x to the x = y ?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

anything can be the solution!

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

no x=y is the solution

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

whatever y is that will be x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^x = y\] is the equation I think

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

if you had x=x, then anything is a solution

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

ohh x^x=y

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

but what solution though??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I disagree that anything can be teh solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're wanting to solve for x in terms of y. It's kind of a mess.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in this form the independent variable is x. and the dep variable is y. so the domain of x can be anything except 0 because I would have an indeterm. form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the posit. domain this funct is strictly monotonically increasing funct. x = y cannot be be the solut.
