Now it is clear, the solution or near correct solution is by trial and error as indicated by your response. I don’t have the correct answer but usual method of taking log on both sides to baseten doesn’t help to get the right answer. It is clear the answer is close to 2 +some decimal value. Ie two plus some fraction. Thanks for your attempting the solution. Regards.
I tried this later last night. The solution for x log x = 1 comes up to something like x≈2.50618414 which when raised to itself is 9.999999. 2.5 seems good enough and it was easy to deduce! Thanks for helping me recall some basics!
Full marks for your painstaking effort. Forgive my curiosity. Which business school you are from? Thanks and Regards.
