    1) If x < 0 then 30 = (1/3)^|x| - |x| < (1/3)^|x| < 30 : contradiction, so there is no negative solution.
    2) x=0 is not a solution
    3) f(x) = 3^x +x - 30 increases strictly in (0,+ infinity), so f has at most one zero (i.e. there is at most one solution)
    4) x = 3 is a solution.
    Conclusion : 3 is the only solution of the equation in R.

  • @deityblah
    @deityblah Місяць тому +3

    At 10 min, rewriting 3^30 as 27×3^27 is equivalent to guessing the answer to 3^x = 30-x, which is guessing the answer to the original question. This is like giving a complicated procedure for fixing a car where step 10 is "take it to a mechanic".
    I do enjoy your videos, though. Your voice is very relaxing.

    • @jlinkels
      @jlinkels 29 днів тому +1

      Uhm... I just wrote a comment saying exactly that. And then I read yours. You were first. You are right. He only can factor out 3^3 * ln 3 * 3^27 if he KNOWS 30-x = 27. And you don't need the Lambert function at all. Actualle he does not even use it to calculate the value for W().

  • @jlinkels
    @jlinkels 29 днів тому +2

    While it IS true that you use the Lambert W functions to solve equations of this form, that is not how it is done here. Actually you don't need the Lambert function at all. Because he does not ever calculate the value for W_0(x). He only puts the Lambert function on both sides of the equal sign to show that W(p) = W(q). At 09:42 he shows that 3^30 * ln3 = 3^3 * 3^27 ln 3. So how does he know that? Why not 3^4 * 3 * 26 ln 3. You can ONLY do this when you know what to expect, namely 30-x = 27. And that is exactly the same as guessing that x=3. And you totally DO NOT need that Lambert function to come to this. Although it is a nice way to simplify the derivation. You just have to skip the step that W(x*e^x) = x. Since you do that on both side of the equal sign you might as well omit it.

    • @Brak41
      @Brak41 21 годину тому

      I don’t think it’s based on knowing 30 - x = 27.
      Example, if I saw W(4^260 x ln4), then I would think about different exponents of 4 to rework the expression. Since 4^4 = 256, this could be rewritten as W(4^4 x 4^256 x ln4) or W(256ln4 x 4^256). Following the additional steps will then make it possible to solve Lambert W.

    did it really need to be that complicated.
    if we find that x=3 is a solution then since x and 3^x are monotonic increasing which proves that x=3 is unique.
    using your method could we find the solution to x+3^x = k where k is some other number than 30

    3 is a trap, guys. The point is, why should it be 3 and not something else, especially when you have no intuition?
    A monotonic function or something like that might exclude other possibilities once you have 3 as the answer, but you arrived at 3 based on intuition.

    I think a more helpful way to present this method would be to show the given equation, demonstrate how easy it is to figure out, then mess it up with numbers that don't solve easily. What do we do now?
    Thus we would need a generalized approach to problems like this. In to save the day is the Lambert W function.
