This question already has an answer here:



  • Solve for $x$: $2^x=4x$

    2 answers



I am trying to solve $2^x = 4x$. Have taken logs on both sides, represented as an exponent and haven't got it close to the form from which I could find a solution.

Note you can write $4=2^2$ so that you have $2^x=2^2x$, dividing by $2^2$ you have $2^x-2=x$. But this is really as far as this goes since these type of equations require special functions to solve. WolframAlpha gives
$$
x= - dfracW_nleft(-dfraclog 24right)log 2
$$
Note that you can try a few 'nice' solutions and see that $x=4$ works.
