SOLUTION: I need help solving the following... ln(x)^(ln(x))=4 so far I took both sides times "e" to get... e^ln(x)^(ln(x))=e^4 x^(ln(x))=e^4 but I don not know what to do next!! T

Question 5155: I need help solving the following...
ln(x)^(ln(x))=4
so far I took both sides times "e" to get...
e^ln(x)^(ln(x))=e^4
x^(ln(x))=e^4
but I don not know what to do next!!
Thanks for the help

Given ln(x)^(ln(x))=4
Let y = ln x, the equation becomes
y^y = 4,
But y^y = 2^2, [This is the point: to take advantage 4 = 2^2]
so y = 2 = ln x,
We get x = e^2
It seems a little tricky. While there is no other good
ways even though I have tried to take ln , log2 , etc.

Your idea is good, but not working for solving this tricky problem.

Let me take a shot at this, since I found TWO solutions for it.

Using the second law of logarithms, i.e. , this can be written

or

Take the square root of each side of the equation:
or

In each case above, raise both sides as a power of e:
or
or

The only question that remains is are these solutions both acceptable. As far as I can tell, the value of never makes the ln of a negative, so BOTH answers should be included in the solution.
