2^x =x^2   ln(2^x )=ln(x^2 )  xln(2)=2ln∣x∣  ((lnx)/x)=(l/2)ln(2)  ln(x)e^(ln((1/x))) =ln(√2)  ln(x)e^(−lnx) =ln(√2)  −ln(x)e^(−lnx) =−ln(√2)  since  w(xe^x )=x  where w() is lambert function  w(−lnxe^(−lnx) )=w(−ln(√2))  lnx=−w(−ln(√2))  x=e^(−w(−ln(√2)))    for x>0

$$\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{x}} =\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{x}} \right)=\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{xln}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)=\mathrm{2ln}\mid\mathrm{x}\mid \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{lnx}}{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{\mathrm{l}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{ln}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{x}}\right)} =\mathrm{ln}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)\mathrm{e}^{−\mathrm{lnx}} =\mathrm{ln}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$−\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)\mathrm{e}^{−\mathrm{lnx}} =−\mathrm{ln}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{since} \\ $$$$\mathrm{w}\left(\mathrm{xe}^{\mathrm{x}} \right)=\mathrm{x}\:\:\mathrm{where}\:\mathrm{w}\left(\right)\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{lambert}\:\mathrm{function} \\ $$$$\mathrm{w}\left(−\mathrm{lnxe}^{−\mathrm{lnx}} \right)=\mathrm{w}\left(−\mathrm{ln}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{lnx}=−\mathrm{w}\left(−\mathrm{ln}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{e}^{−\mathrm{w}\left(−\mathrm{ln}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\right)} \:\:\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{x}>\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$ \\ $$

Can you solve without using De l′Ambert function?

U can use Newton Raphson Method

$$\mathrm{U}\:\mathrm{can}\:\mathrm{use}\:\mathrm{Newton}\:\mathrm{Raphson}\:\mathrm{Method} \\ $$
