can you prove the 2nd case   x=4
$${can}\:{you}\:{prove}\:{the}\:\mathrm{2}{nd}\:{case}\: \\ $$$${x}=\mathrm{4} \\ $$

ln (1/4)e^(ln (1/4)) =(1/4)ln (1/4)=(1/2)ln (1/2)=−(1/2)ln 2  W(−(1/2)ln 2) is multivalued  W(−(1/2)ln 2)=ln (1/2) or ln (1/4)  x=2 or 4
$$\mathrm{ln}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}{e}^{\mathrm{ln}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}\mathrm{ln}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{ln}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}=−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${W}\left(−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{2}\right)\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{multivalued} \\ $$$${W}\left(−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{2}\right)=\mathrm{ln}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{ln}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$${x}=\mathrm{2}\:{or}\:\mathrm{4} \\ $$

we have two cases  case 1:  x=2 ⇒2^2 =2^2 =4  case 2 :  x=4 ⇒2^4 =4^2 =16
$${we}\:{have}\:{two}\:{cases} \\ $$$${case}\:\mathrm{1}:\:\:{x}=\mathrm{2}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{4} \\ $$$${case}\:\mathrm{2}\::\:\:{x}=\mathrm{4}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{4}} =\mathrm{4}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{16} \\ $$
