find x  (√x)  =  8^x

$$\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{x} \\ $$$$\sqrt{\mathrm{x}}\:\:=\:\:\mathrm{8}^{\mathrm{x}} \\ $$

For equation (√x)=a^x  the solution is  x=−((W(−2ln a))/(2ln a))  where 2ln a≤(1/e) or  a≤e^(1/(2e)) ≈1.202    for a=8>1.202 ⇒ there is no solution.

$${For}\:{equation}\:\sqrt{{x}}={a}^{{x}} \:{the}\:{solution}\:{is} \\ $$$${x}=−\frac{{W}\left(−\mathrm{2ln}\:{a}\right)}{\mathrm{2ln}\:{a}} \\ $$$${where}\:\mathrm{2ln}\:{a}\leqslant\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{e}}\:{or} \\ $$$${a}\leqslant{e}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}{e}}} \approx\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{202} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${for}\:{a}=\mathrm{8}>\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{202}\:\Rightarrow\:{there}\:{is}\:{no}\:{solution}. \\ $$

x≥0  x=^! 8^(2x) =64^x     f(x)=x  g(x)=64^x     f(0)=0  g(0)=1>f(0)    f′(x)=1  g′(x)=64^x ×ln 64>1=f′(x)    ⇒for all x≥0 we have g(x)>f(x)  i.e.  there is no solution for f(x)=g(x)!

$${x}\geqslant\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${x}\overset{!} {=}\mathrm{8}^{\mathrm{2}{x}} =\mathrm{64}^{{x}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)={x} \\ $$$${g}\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{64}^{{x}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${f}\left(\mathrm{0}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${g}\left(\mathrm{0}\right)=\mathrm{1}>{f}\left(\mathrm{0}\right) \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${f}'\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${g}'\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{64}^{{x}} ×\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{64}>\mathrm{1}={f}'\left({x}\right) \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{for}\:{all}\:{x}\geqslant\mathrm{0}\:{we}\:{have}\:{g}\left({x}\right)>{f}\left({x}\right) \\ $$$${i}.{e}. \\ $$$${there}\:{is}\:{no}\:{solution}\:{for}\:{f}\left({x}\right)={g}\left({x}\right)! \\ $$

x = 8^(2x)   x = 64^x   x = e^(x∙ln 64)   (x/e^(x∙ln 64) ) = 1  x∙e^(−x∙ln 64)  = 1  (−ln 64)(x∙e^(−ln 64∙x) ) = −ln 64  −ln 64∙x∙e^(−ln 64∙x)  = −ln 64  −ln 64∙x = y  ye^y  = −ln 64  y = W(−ln 64)    W : Lambert function  x = − ((W(−ln 64))/(ln 64))

W(−ln 64) is not valid!     For Lambert function W(t)  t must be ≥−(1/e) ≈−0.368  but −ln 64≈−4.159 !!!
