    You can avoid having to think about tricks if you define u = x^4. Then you get u^(u/4) = 64 which calls for raising both sides to the fourth power. You end up with the same equation

    @@alexandrenouhet4669 So because of the properties of powers, ((x)^x)^4 = (x)^x⋅4 = (x)^4 ⋅x = (x)^4^x. So we ca substitute u to x^4 an get (u)^x. Now to express that other x as a function of u as well, we can observe that x = √(√(u)), and that doing the square root of something is the same as elevating tha something to the 1/2th power, so we have x = ((u)^1/2)^1/2 = (u)^1/2⋅1/2 = (u)^1/4. So if we substitute this to x in the equation (u)^x we get ((u)^u^1/4), that like before is equal to (u)^u⋅1/4 = u^u/4. So back to the original problem you now have u^u/4 = 64, and you can elevate both to the fourth power and get u^u = 64^4. After this the explanation in the video will get you to the solution. Hope this cleared it up!

    In this particular case you may be lucky and it will be the solution. But you did two mistakes already, first when you raise something to a degree of a even number then you can creat more roots then it really has, so x4 range needs to be discussed. Second when you just put x equals to eight it may be not the only solution. Or maybe it is but it needs to be addressed. I wouldn’t recommend learning math this way. It is better to understand what you are doing and never solve the equation then writing lots of bullcrap without understanding.

    Taking the fourth power gets us (x^(x^4))^4 = 64^4. We can arrange it into the form a^a by noting a^mn=a^nm. So (x^4)^(x^4)=64^4=(8^2)^4=8^8. Therefore x^4=8, which we can write as the only solution since the function y=x^x monotonically increases when x>1/e, where e is Euler's number, to be specific. Now we can solve the quartic x^4=8 for the four solutions by factoring or square rooting the equation two times. Factoring: Bring 8 to the other side, then rewrite the difference of squares -> x^4-8=0 -> (x^2)^2-(sqrt(8))^2=0 -> (x^2+sqrt(8))(x^2-sqrt(8))=0. So x^2+sqrt(8)=0 or x^2-sqrt(8)=0. The solutions to this are x=+/-4th root of 8 and x=+/-4th root of 8 * i. Square Rooting: Taking the square root two times gets us x=+/-sqrt(+/-sqrt(8)) -> x=+/-4th root of 8, +/-4th root of 8 * i.

It’s ambiguous as to whether it equals 1 or whether it’s undefined, and different parts of mathematics disagree on what it equals.

    2^(3/4) ? Ok, I got it, and yeah, the negative root also works. I used logarithms, but only because I didn't find a way to write it symmetrically as you did in your solution. I tried to write the exponential in other forms, I just didn't find the one I needed. Of course, with log you could do in your head if you used base 2. Otherwise you'd need to used a few log properties to get to the same conclusion, and that without a pencil is slightly more challenging. The complex solution, tho, is definitely more complicated.

    For these towers of power one needs to remember that a^b^c = a^(b^c). Since the righthand-side (RHS) is 64 = 2^6, it's not unreasonable to suppose that x is also a power of 2. Let x = 2^a. Using guess-and-check on 'a', with target for the LHS of 2^6 = 64: When a=0, x = 2^0 = 1: 1^(1^4) = 1^1 = 1 = 2^0 ≠ 2^6 (a is too small) When a=1, x = 2^1 = 2: 2^(2^4) = 2^16 ≠ 2^6 (a is too large) When a=1/2, x = 2^(1/2): [2^(1/2)]^{[2^(1/2)]^4]} = [2^(1/2)]^(2^2) = [2^(1/2)]^4 = 2^2 ≠ 2^6 (a is too small) When a = 3/4, x = 2^(3/4): [2^(3/4)]^{[2^(3/4)]^4]} = [2^(3/4)]^(2^3) = [2^(3/4)]^8 = 2^6 = 2^6, checks!! So a=3/4, and x=2^(3/4)= ∜(2^3)=∜8. Done! Took 10x longer to type & explain than to do this in my head!! (I was just looking for the real solutions.. have to think more about the -∜8 and i∜8 & -i∜8.

    There is maybe a “simpler” solution involving smaller numbers. 64 is 2^6 so let’s simplify both sides and obtain x^x=2^(3/2). The fact one side is a power of 2 tells us that also the other side, hence x, can be expressed as a power of 2. Hence, we can solve for (2^y)^(2^y)=(2^(3/2))^(2^0). Then, we can just “redistribute” the sum of the exponents 3/2 and 0 into 2 equal halves, that is into 3/4 and 3/4. So, since y=3/4, then x is 2^(3/4).

    I did a few calculations to see how you got your numbers. You calculated 8^(1/4) correctly as 1,681792830507429..., but wrote the rounded value wrong in your comment. You intended to write 1,681793, but wrote 1,681739. This typo did not affect your next calculations. With your correct x, you calculated (x^x)^4 instead of x^(x^4). That's how you got 33,02252407144914... instead of 64.

    Took me about 20 minutes, thinking about various methods. The first once which came to my mind was kinda using fraction, then after not coming to an amswer, I thought about displaying 64 in various ways. then it came to. What is eightnt root of 64 on 4? And by that way, I solved this. You just need to know a little bit of complex roots to finish this.
