how to solve an equation including natural log

savecancel

Setting $Y:=-(\ln X + 0.0064) = -\ln(e^{0.0064}X)$, we get an equation: $$Ye^Y = -\frac{0.08}{e^{0.0064}},$$ implying that $Y = W( -\frac{0.08}{e^{0.0064}} )$, where $W$ is Lambert W function. Then $$X = e^{- W( -\frac{0.08}{e^{0.0064}} ) - 0.0064}.$$

In Sage we can define a function that computes $X$ depending on a branch of $W$:

def X(branch=0):
    return exp(-lambert_w(branch, -0.08/exp(0.0064)) - 0.0064 )

Then X(0) gives 1.08359901378819, X(-1) gives 48.6340483659129, and other branches give various complex solutions.

This expression has no analytical solution, therefore you need to solve it numerically. For that, you can use find_root in a given range $0\lt x \lt 2$:

sol = find_root(0.08*x-0.0064 == log(x), 0,2); sol

which will give you,

1.0835990137881888
