Question

x^3=2^(1-x)





Solve for x

Answer 1

\[\Large x^3=2^{1-x}\]

Answer 2

It is unsolvable with only elementary algebra, you would have to go beyond that.

Answer 3

The answer is 1 but I want to know the intermediate steps

Answer 4

What are you referring to?

Answer 5

I mean to solve it, you would have to use some advanced math

So to know that x = 1, you would just have to observe that at x=1, \(x^3 = 1\) and \(2^{1-x} = 2^{1-1} = 2^0 = 1\)

Answer 6

OK, thanks anyways since it seems that it's really too complicated to even explain, I;m in calculus if that helps xD

Answer 7

yeah, well, you could solve with calculus, probably, but steps is so complicated I cannot comprehend it.

You would need to use Lambert W-Function to solve that: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LambertW-Function.html

Answer 8

Thanks
