Question Number 191129 by Mastermind last updated on 18/Apr/23

Solve for x :  x + ln(1−x) = 0.1614    Help!

$$\mathrm{Solve}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{x}\:: \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}\:+\:\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{x}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{1614} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\mathrm{Help}! \\ $$

no solution for x ∈  reals numbers

$$\mathrm{no}\:\mathrm{solution}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{x}\:\in\:\:{reals}\:{numbers} \\ $$

f(x)=x+ln (1−x)≤0  so f(x)=0.1614 has no solution!    say the question is  x+ln (1−x)=−0.1614, then we can  solve it as following:    x+ln (1−x)=−0.1614  ln e^x (1−x)=−0.1614  e^x (1−x)=e^(−0.1614)   e^x (x−1)=−e^(−0.1614)   e^(x−1) (x−1)=−e^(−0.1614−1)   ⇒x−1=W(−e^(−0.1614−1) )  ⇒x=1+W(−e^(−0.1614−1) )          ≈ { ((−0.68047868)),((0.46604647)) :}

$${f}\left({x}\right)={x}+\mathrm{ln}\:\left(\mathrm{1}−{x}\right)\leqslant\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${so}\:{f}\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{1614}\:{has}\:{no}\:{solution}! \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${say}\:{the}\:{question}\:{is} \\ $$$${x}+\mathrm{ln}\:\left(\mathrm{1}−{x}\right)=−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{1614},\:{then}\:{we}\:{can} \\ $$$${solve}\:{it}\:{as}\:{following}: \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${x}+\mathrm{ln}\:\left(\mathrm{1}−{x}\right)=−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{1614} \\ $$$$\mathrm{ln}\:{e}^{{x}} \left(\mathrm{1}−{x}\right)=−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{1614} \\ $$$${e}^{{x}} \left(\mathrm{1}−{x}\right)={e}^{−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{1614}} \\ $$$${e}^{{x}} \left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)=−{e}^{−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{1614}} \\ $$$${e}^{{x}−\mathrm{1}} \left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)=−{e}^{−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{1614}−\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}−\mathrm{1}=\mathbb{W}\left(−{e}^{−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{1614}−\mathrm{1}} \right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{1}+\mathbb{W}\left(−{e}^{−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{1614}−\mathrm{1}} \right) \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\approx\begin{cases}{−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{68047868}}\\{\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{46604647}}\end{cases} \\ $$
