can anyone show that this equation a^x=x^a has another solutions exept x=a if a>e (2.71...)

SUMMARY
The equation a^x = x^a has additional solutions beyond x = a when a > e (approximately 2.71). For instance, when a = 4 and x = 2, the equation holds true, demonstrating that multiple solutions exist in this scenario. This indicates a broader set of solutions in the context of exponential equations, particularly for values of a greater than e.
