Find all the solution that fulfilled the equation below  (1 + (1/x))^(x + 1)  = (1 + (1/(2013)))^(2013)

Just −2014. There can be no positve solution. The function is  monotinically decreasing  so there could be one negative   solution. As (1+1/x)=1/(1−1/(x+1)) then the RHS can be  written (1−1/2014)^(−2013)  which gives the solution.
