There is no easy way to solve this algebraically. I would graph both functions to get an idea where the roots might be and then use the intermediate value theorem to zoom in on those roots.hello

yeah so basically i was wondering if anyone could show the steps involved in finding the value of x. I tried using log2 but got stuck. thanks
I'll bite, and show my ignorance, what or who is bprb? Could it be Ballpark Bob ?This is a problem for bprb!
I was waiting for that question. There is a youtuber who has solved problems like this one. He write with a Black Pen and a Red Pen while holding both in his hands and switches between then flawlessly.I'll bite, and show my ignorance, what or who is bprb? Could it be Ballpark Bob ?
Nobody can do better than Dr Walter Lewins, nobody. The man is a legend.but can bprp do this?

No i am not, i am basically starting out now with calculus and I was reading a part on how to determine if one kind of function dominates another as they go to infinity. That is where I saw those equations and i got curious to see if there was a way to find an x value where they equal.There's no simple closed form solution for this unless you all are studying the Lambert W function. Are you?
Thank you, I saw a similar answer on another site but had no idea how they got it.There's also another solution at x ≈ 9.9395351414269
EDIT:You can see this on the far right of @skeeter 's graph - it has a very steep gradient and therefore it almost looks like a border of the image!
