Question Number 170520 by mr W last updated on 25/May/22

solve for x  (1+(1/x))^(x+1) =(1+(1/(10)))^(10)

$${solve}\:{for}\:{x} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}\right)^{{x}+\mathrm{1}} =\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{10}}\right)^{\mathrm{10}} \\ $$

(((x+1)/x))^(x+1) =....  ((x/(x+1)))^(−(x+1)) =....  (1−(1/(x+1)))^(−(x+1)) =....  (1+ (1/(−(x+1)  )))^(−(x+1)) =(1+(1/(10)))^(10)   ⇒ x=−11

$$\left(\frac{{x}+\mathrm{1}}{{x}}\right)^{{x}+\mathrm{1}} =.... \\ $$$$\left(\frac{{x}}{{x}+\mathrm{1}}\right)^{−\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)} =.... \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}+\mathrm{1}}\right)^{−\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)} =.... \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}+\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{−\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)\:\:}\right)^{−\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)} =\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{10}}\right)^{\mathrm{10}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{x}=−\mathrm{11} \\ $$
