Oct 30, 2009 at 3:38	comment	added	Yemon Choi		Why do you want an "algebraic" solution? What range of values is x confined to? What have you tried thus far?
Oct 30, 2009 at 3:36	comment	added	David E Speyer		(1) The body of your question is indecipherable and (2) there is no reason I can think of that this equation should have a closed form solution. Your best bet is probably to solve this numerically.
