Use the Lambert W!!! Even if you don't need it

[@nizogos]

The x=3 solution is visible,after that you could move all the terms of your equation to one side and define a function.From there you could prove that the function is monotonous through its derivatives and thus x=3 is a unique solution

[@owlsmath]

yep makes sense!

[@taterpun6211]

At least for real numbers. Lambert W function has infinite branches like logz

[@owlsmath]

@@taterpun6211 right always infinite number of complex solutions

Nice job. That was slightly headachy, but not too bad ; )

[@owlsmath]

Yep! More headaches than guess and check for sure

[@slavinojunepri7648]

Excellent

[@owlsmath]

thanks :)

[@holyshit922]

x=3 is a solution but is it the only one

[@HJ28_398]

I don't know the proper way to do it, but just doing some Desmosing, I've found that around 3.44983 - 7.89905i and 3.44983 + 7.89905i are two of these such answers, you are correct 👏👏.

[@Cyrusislikeawsome]

I guess proving it with the W function kinda helps that because you can see via the graph

Wow. :0

After seeing this my brain 🧠: please pull out calculator 100ms

Is that 100 milliseconds? Your brain reacted fast!
