Hello all
Can anybody see a way to analytically find x in the expression:
cos(x) = exp(-2x)
By inspection x=0 is obvious, and numerically we find x=1.5232 is also a solution, but is there a way to find these values by rearranging the above expression? It's one of those that looks simple but isn't, any ideas?
Many thanks
