x^x  = 100  x=100^(1/x)   x=e^((1/x)ln 100)   (1/x)e^((1/x)ln 100) =1  ((1/x)ln 100)e^((1/x)ln 100) =ln 100  ⇒(1/x)ln 100=W(ln 100)  ⇒x=((ln 100)/(W(ln 100)))≈((4.60517)/(W(4.60517)))  ≈((4.60517)/(1.28018))=3.59728      Generally:  solution for x^x =a is  x=((ln a)/(W(ln a)))
$$\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{x}} \:=\:\mathrm{100} \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{100}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{x}}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{e}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{x}}\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{100}} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{x}}\mathrm{e}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{x}}\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{100}} =\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{x}}\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{100}\right)\mathrm{e}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{x}}\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{100}} =\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{100} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{x}}\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{100}=\mathrm{W}\left(\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{100}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{100}}{\mathrm{W}\left(\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{100}\right)}\approx\frac{\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{60517}}{\mathrm{W}\left(\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{60517}\right)} \\ $$$$\approx\frac{\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{60517}}{\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{28018}}=\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{59728} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\mathrm{Generally}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{solution}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{x}} =\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{is} \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{W}\left(\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{a}\right)} \\ $$
