I was looking into generalizing a formula for this a few years ago and it is very cool how it parallels solving quadratics. Instead of completing the square, we want to get the xe^x form, and there are even discriminant cases for the different branches of the Lambert W function.

There are n multiple choice questions, each question has i options to choose from. Step 1: Randomly choose the mth option (with m less than or equal to i and m greater than or equal to 1) in the first multiple choice question Step 2: Repeat the option in the 1st multiple-choice question in the next (k-1) multiple-choice questions. Step 3: To choose the option in the (k+1) multiple choice question, we will choose in the following way for each case: Case 1: If the option chosen in the kth multiple choice question is the mth option (with m smaller than i), then choose the (m+1)th option. Case 2: If the option chosen in the kth multiple choice question is the ith option, then choose the 1st option. Step 4: Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for multiple-choice questions from the (k+2)th multiple-choice question to the nth multiple-choice question. Each multiple choice question has only 1 correct answer. Let t be the number of multiple-choice questions answered correctly in n multiple-choice questions, t follows the Bernouli distribution. Find k to t max.

Hello bprp, I was hoping you could solve the equation f(x)= f(x-1) + f(x+1) for f(x). Even though it looks so bare-bones, WolframAlpha says the solution is f(x) = e^(-1/3 i π x) (c_2 + c_1 e^((2 i π x)/3)) (where c_1 and c_2 are arbitrary parameters) which is pretty crazy. It seems very weird how the solution has the whole math trio (pi, e, and i). Thanks for everything you do on the channel and happy holidays!

[@eccotom1]

it's because the resultant family of functions are sinusoids, and are especially known for preserving this sort of convoluting condition (notice how sin(x + pi/2) + sin(x- pi/2) = 0.) an easy example f(x) = sin(x * pi/3) can be obtained by solving sin(a) = sin(2a) for a.

[@gastonsolaril.237]

You know... a couple of weeks ago you published a problem of that format on Instagram. And I deduced the EXACT same formula, with the difference that I extended the "linear exponent" to add extra features. Like this: "A exp(Bx + C) + Dx + E = 0" The formula is deduced with the same exact way. There are one or two more thingies inside the Lambert as a result, but... it's the same. It's a beautiful exercise, by the way. Keep up with the good work, bprp!!!

What if e is raised to a quadratic polynomial. Can that be solved for x?

[@gastonsolaril.237]

@@trucid2: wow, good challenge. Don't know! I guess we should try it! lol At a first glance (not entirely proven), I feel feasible to say that the polynomial at the exponent of "e" needs to be the same degree as the one that's outside the "e" so that one could align some transformation of such polynomial to the exponential's coefficient and apply Lambert's W: "A exp(p(x)) + q(x) = 0" where "degree(p) = degree(q)" But then one could also seize the fact that any polynomial of degree "n" has a "n+1" powered term, but it's just that its coefficient is zero. Perhaps that could be used for the general case.

There's a general solution because mathematicians decided they wanted one badly enough, and so just named it the Lambert W function. 🙃 Well, okay, it's a bit more complicated than that, but now they can pretend they can solve this kind of equations exactly rather than just to an arbitrary degree of precision 🙂

[@necrolord1920]

10:16 technically, there is only 1 real solution if inside = -1/e. Therefore, to be precise you would write that there is 1 real solution if inside = -1/e or inside >= 0. There are 2 real solutions if -1/e < inside < 0.

[@pahandulanga1039]

Can you make a video of you solving an equation using this formula?

If the inside is equal to -1/e, we actually only get 1 solution because are exactly at the minimum of xe^x. So we have, with y being the argument: y < -1/e 0 real sol. (under the graph of xe^x) y = -1/e 1 real sol. (at bottom of bump) -1/e < y < 0 2 real sol. (on either side of the bump) y ≥ 0 1 real sol. (in the strictly inc. positive part of the graph)

Ooo i love your videos with the Lambert W function! One thing I was curious about was the remaining W(..) term because before you simplified it, it was soooo close to being fish*e^fish, but that c threw things off. Could you explain why/how the C term throws off the formula, and why simplifying it becomes so much harder?

[@soupisfornoobs4081]

You can see in the derivation that the c is what forces us to multiply by e^whatever, as it doesn't depend on x. As for the W being so close to sinplifying, it's that way also without the c where you get W(lna*e^-lnb)

[@Bhuvan_MS]

It's just like saying to solve equations of the form: ax³+bx²+cx=0 ax³+bx²+cx+d In the first eqn, you can factor out the x and reduce the cubic into a monomial and quadratic, which is easily solvable In the second eqn, when an additional 'd'(constant similar to c in quadratic) is present, it becomes so complicated that it took mathematicians several centuries, or even a millennium to arrive at a general solution of a cubic because of a constant. It just shows us how one extra term could change our method so drastically.

Yes, you can solve that using the Lambert W function. Just take the substitution y=log_10(x) which yields the equation 100^y*y=100 which can be solved using the Lambert W function. The equation you brought up can be solved a lot easier than this though (over the reels): Just write log_10(x)^5 as ln(x)^5/ln(10)^5 and multiply both sides by ln(10)^5 giving: x^2*ln(x)^5=100*ln(10)^5=10^2*ln(10)^5 which obviously yields x=10.

I've been thinking lately about fractional polinomiais. If a quadratic has two roots (zeros), how many roots does a 2.5 polinomial have? How would we go around solving it?

[@Ninja20704]

A polynomial by definition can only have non-negative integer powers of the variable so there is no such thing as a 2.5 degree polynomial. But if you really want, you could substitute t=sqrt(x) which would give you a degree 5 polynomial in terms of t, and then solve for t numerically(there is no general method/formula for solving a degree 5+ polynomial so you have better chances using a numerical method than trying to solve it exactly). Then lastly solve for x

[@guydell7850]

Functions with fractional powers are not considered polynomials, only functions with whole number powers which aren't negative are considered polynomials. Hence for a function with a 2.5 power for example, the fundamental theorem of algebra does not apply (which states that the degree of a polynomial is equal to the number of solutions) as a fractional power isnt a polynomial. As such, as far as my knowledge goes you cant really make conclusive statements about how many solutions a fractional power would have. Hope that makes sense

[@lawrencejelsma8118]

​@@guydell7850... I think the previous commenter stated it accurately.

In electrical engineering physics √x = +/- results not + results because of "right hand rule" electricity flow provisions to enforce positive √x or primary root results that mathematicians defined for calculations. If electrical engineering only relied on a primary root in "flux directionality" and/or power to a "load" received from a source providing that power then electronic circuit designs wouldn't exist as we see today. The electrical engineering "right hand rule" of positive and negative current and voltage direction to the load assumptions led to wave diodes, wave rectifiers, etc. because of A.C. to D.C. fixed voltages needs where it would be ideal if the source fluctuating source voltages and currents would be only positive.
