    More efficient method is to cube both sides and swap exponents on the left to get
    27^x=x^27, x=27

    3^x = x^9
    On taking log on both sides
    x log 3 = 9 log x
    log 3/logx = 9/x
    We know Log m/ Log n = Log m with base n
    Log 3 with base x = 9/x
    So, x^(9/x) = 3
    Put x=27, it will satisfy.

    Once you have 3^(x / 9) = x, considering other solutions besides natural numbers are not covered in this approach, why not the following:
    3^(x / 9) = 9 * (x / 9)
    u = x / 9
    3^u = 9u = 3^2 * u
    3^(u - 2) = u
    Trying u = 1, 2, and then 3, the first solution as a natural number gives us u = 3.
    x = 9 * u = 9 * 3 = 27.

    This difficult problem can be solved solely by the application of several laws of exponents. My AI software, MathTeacherXL, could not solve the problem even after I provided the answer! Instead of applying the laws of exponents, it tried using logarithms and approximation techniques, all to no avail.

    This is a nice trick for this case - where 3, 9, and 27 are obviously related. Perhaps a more useful approach for two rapidly increasing functions is to take logarithms and compare f₁(x) = (ln3)x with f₂(x) = 9lnx. For x > 0 f₁ is linear and positive, while f₂ is logarithmic, negative with a highly positive slope for small positive x, but positive for x > 1, with a decreasing slope as x grows. That immediately suggests the possibility of two solutions and graphing f₁ and f₂ reveals that easily.

    Lambert's W function is far too advanced a tool for tackling the non-trivial solution. Here´s my two cents: plot the linear function f(x) = ln3·x and the logarithmic function g(x) = 9·lnx. Obviously, f(1) > g(1), but f(2)

    • @javiergilvidal1558

      Couldn´t refrain from doing it the N-R way, and the iterating function is not as cumbersome as I had anticipated, since it is t_(n+1) = (t_n - ln t_n) / [1- (ln3 / 9)]. Putting t_0 = 1, it takes exactly as many iterations (13) as before, to reach the same result x = 1,1508248213. Again, a little bit surprised at the rather slow rate of convergence!
