## Logarithmic differentiation to find dy/dx | Physics Forums

Hello, I know how I need to do the problem, I have figured out an answer as best as I could but I have a feeling the answer is not correct. In fact I'm pretty sure it's not. Anyway, I'm supposed to use the logarithmic differentiation to find dy/dx for the equation: x^y = y^x I know I need...

## $x^y = y^x$ for integers $x$ and $y$

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/9505/%24x%5Ey-%3D-y%5Ex%24-for-integers-%24x%24-and-%24y%24#10996
Say x^y = y^x , and x > y > 0 . Taking logs, y \log x = x \log y ; rearranging, (\log x)/x = (\log y)/y . Let f(x) = (\log x)/x ; then this is f(x) = f(y) . Now, f^\prime(x) = (1-\log x)/x^2 , so f is increasing for x<e and decreasing for x>e . So if x^y = y^x has a solution, then x > e > y . So y must be 1 or 2 . But y = 1 doesn't work. y=2 gives x=4 . (I've always thought of this as the sta...

This is a classic (and well known problem). The general solution of x^y = y^x is given by \begin{align*}x &= (1+1/u)^u \\ y &= (1+1/u)^{u+1}\end{align*} It can be shown that if x and y are rational, then u must be an integer. For more details, see this and this....

## For 17 integers: $a_{i} (i=1,2,\dotsm,17)$, $a_{1}^{a_{2}}=a_{2}^{a_{3}}=a_{3}^{a_{4}}=\dotsm=a_{16}^{\quad a_{17}}=a_{17}^{a_{1}}$.

Hint If x^y=y^x then \frac{\ln(x)}{x} = \frac{\ln(y)}{y} Now, f(x)=\frac{\ln(x)}{x} is increasing on (0,e) and decreasing on (e , \infty) . Deduce from here that x^y=y^x implies that exactly one of the following happens x=y x<e<y y <e<x . Now, assume by contradiction that a_1 \neq a_2 . Show first that a_{j} \neq a_{j+1} for all 1 \leq j \leq 16 . Next, deduce that if a_j <e then a_{j+1}>e ...

## $x^{y}=y^{x}$ Intersection Question

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/786565/%24x%5E%7By%7D%3Dy%5E%7Bx%7D%24-intersection-question
I'm looking at this problem, x^{y}=y^{x} and the question is to find the point of intersection of the two curves that form a solution set. I understand how to find the point of intersection using a different method, but I don't understand the following solution. Why is it when "f(x)" is at a minimum or maximum, we have intersection of the two curves? http://math.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/pages/solutions_1.pdf...

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/944326/find-the-all-possible-real-solutions-of-%24x%5Ey%3Dy%5Ex%24#944346
Applying the logarithm to both sides gives y \log x = x \log y, and rearranging gives \frac{\log x}{x} = \frac{\log y}{y} , so we get a nontrivial solution (i.e., one for which x \neq y ) for any value assumed twice by f(x) := \frac{\log x}{x} . More explicitly, if x and y are distinct values such that f(x) = f(y) , then by construction we have a nontrivial solution x^y = y^x . The function f is obviously continuous, an...

I remember this question from 40 years ago, and I never found a solution on my own. If Y = X ^ {X ^ Y} : When I attempt to reduce this, it always involves both an X and Y on both LHS and RHS of the equation. I'm assuming that either 1. This is done via complex numbers or 2. This cannot be easily solved (it reminds me of a discussion of x^y=y^x )....

A parameterization for y^\frac{1}{y}=x^\frac{1}{x} is well-known (and not original by me). Write it as x^y = y^x and let y = ry . Then x^{rx}=(rx)^x . Taking x -th roots, x^r = rx . Dividing by x , x^{r-1} - r or x = r^{\frac1{r-1}} and y = rx = rr^{\frac1{r-1}} = r^{1+\frac1{r-1}} = r^{\frac{r}{r-1}} . You might this in your other equation and see where it gets you....

Solving x^y = y^x analytically in terms of the Lambert W function This "solution" for x^y=y^x should simplify to y=x , but for some reason no pointed that out in the OP. According to the stack exchange, the answer is y= \frac{-xW(-\frac{ln(x)}{x})}{ln(x)} . However, the term \frac{-ln(x)}{x} itself can be rewritten as \frac{-ln(x)}{x}=-ln(x)e^{-ln(x)} Therefore, the productlog of that expression should simplify as follows...
