solve for x  10^x =x^(50)

$$\boldsymbol{\mathrm{solve}}\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{for}}\:\boldsymbol{{x}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{10}^{\boldsymbol{{x}}} =\boldsymbol{{x}}^{\mathrm{50}} \\ $$

Lambert W function is used.  If xe^x =a then x=W(a).

$${Lambert}\:{W}\:{function}\:{is}\:{used}. \\ $$$${If}\:{xe}^{{x}} ={a}\:{then}\:{x}={W}\left({a}\right). \\ $$

what is W

$$\mathrm{what}\:\mathrm{is}\:\boldsymbol{{W}} \\ $$

Commented by MrW3 last updated on 12/Oct/18

To apply Lambert function to solve  the equation, all what we have to do  is to put the equation into a form like  Xe^X =Y  then we get X=W(Y).

$${To}\:{apply}\:{Lambert}\:{function}\:{to}\:{solve} \\ $$$${the}\:{equation},\:{all}\:{what}\:{we}\:{have}\:{to}\:{do} \\ $$$${is}\:{to}\:{put}\:{the}\:{equation}\:{into}\:{a}\:{form}\:{like} \\ $$$${Xe}^{{X}} ={Y} \\ $$$${then}\:{we}\:{get}\:{X}=\mathbb{W}\left({Y}\right). \\ $$

W(x) is the lambert function, defined  as W(x)e^(W(x)) =x.

$${W}\left({x}\right)\:{is}\:{the}\:{lambert}\:{function},\:{defined} \\ $$$${as}\:{W}\left({x}\right){e}^{{W}\left({x}\right)} ={x}. \\ $$
