Solve for real numbers:  ((5(√5) + x))^(1/5)  - ((5(√5) - x))^(1/5)  = (2)^(1/5)

$$\mathrm{Solve}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{real}\:\mathrm{numbers}: \\ $$$$\sqrt[{\mathrm{5}}]{\mathrm{5}\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\:+\:\mathrm{x}}\:-\:\sqrt[{\mathrm{5}}]{\mathrm{5}\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\:-\:\mathrm{x}}\:=\:\sqrt[{\mathrm{5}}]{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$

let f: { (R,→,R),(x, ,((5(√5)+x)^(1/5) )) :}    Re−writting the equation we get:  (2)^(1/5) =(5(√5)+x)^(1/5) −(5(√5)−x)^(1/5)   =f(x)−f(−x)    very obviously f∈D^1 (R) as a composition of C^∞ (R) ones  actually, to be rigorous R sould be replaced by R−{5(√5)} cause ( )^(1/n)  is never derivable in 0... but you get the point  (df/dx)=((d(5(√5)+x))/dx)×((d(x^(1/5) ))/dx)○(x 5(√5)+x)  =x (1/5)(5(√5)+x)^(−4/5)   =x (1/5)((5(√5)+x)^2 )^(−2/5)     ∀x∈R−{−5(√5)} (5(√5)+x)^2 >0  so ∀x∈R−{−5(√5)} ((5(√5)+x)^2 )^(−2/5) >0  hence (df/(dx ))>0 (over R−{5(√5)}  of course this gives (df/dx)○(x −x)<0 (over R−{−5(√5)})    since f and (therefor x f(x)−f(−x) ) is strictly increasing  it as 1 solution or less    considering x=11  ((5^(3/2) +11)^(1/5) −(5^(3/2) −11)^(1/5) )^5   by devellopping with newton′s formula the“^5 ” you get 2.  its a pain, so I won′t show it here. Sorry    Hence x=11_■

since the calculation was “a pain” you might wonder how I found that x=11 would work in the first place  did I stubble upon it by pure luck?  well, not at all, actualy this whole proof is the opposite of what I did by myself  I actualy plotted the curve on a graph and found (to a very good precision) that the only solution was indeed 11  I then just had to proove the unicity and verify that 11 was not just an approximation  see the folowing pictures I plotted.

Now, here′s a real hard question,  both geogebra and maple, when asked   to solve this, give an exact value (11)    But neither one of them does tel me how  they found that it was an exact value    Does this means they are just too lazy to  tel me, but there DOES exist a way to find   it without first knowing it (ie without a   computer)? Or are they just pretending  that the value is exact because it is coded  in such a way that 11.000000000000000001  is showed as 11 (ie the value shown is not  formalay calculated, and its just a float)    This might be a very “metha” question   for it is at the fronteer of math, computer science  and raises the (almost philosophical)   question : what does it mean for an equation  to be solvable ?      Please if you have the answere, do give it,  this seems super interesting  :−)
