x=±3^(x/2)   x=±e^((x/2)ln 3)   xe^(−(x/2)ln 3) =±1  (−(x/2)ln 3)e^(−(x/2)ln 3) =∓((ln 3)/2)  ⇒−(x/2)ln 3=W(∓((ln 3)/2))  ⇒x=−(2/(ln 3))W(∓((ln 3)/2))  since −((ln 3)/2)<−(1/e)  there is only one real root:  x=−(2/(ln 3))W(((ln 3)/2))≈−0.69
$$\mathrm{x}=\pm\mathrm{3}^{\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{2}}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}=\pm\mathrm{e}^{\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{xe}^{−\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{3}} =\pm\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\left(−\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{3}\right)\mathrm{e}^{−\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{3}} =\mp\frac{\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow−\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{3}=\mathrm{W}\left(\mp\frac{\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{x}=−\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{W}\left(\mp\frac{\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{since}\:−\frac{\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}<−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{e}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{there}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{only}\:\mathrm{one}\:\mathrm{real}\:\mathrm{root}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}=−\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{W}\left(\frac{\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)\approx−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{69} \\ $$
