What do you think about my "e-hoodie"?

Numerical approximations are, to a mathematician, what frozen ready meals are to a decent chef.

It's actually okay to have an irrational number that cannot be explained in known functions and constants. <br>To solve this equation, just make up a new function like Larmbert W for it.

How to make a homemade chain rule equation:<br>1. Preheat the oven to 400° <br>2. Gather all of your constants together, slowly mix with your variable(s) <br>3. Wrap this mix in parentheses, top off with a variable exponent or natural log<br>4. Bake for 45 min <br>5. Let stand for 5-10 min and serve <br><br>Servings: 24 calculus students

Well, in the spirit of W Lambert function, let's define a Q function such that Q(x) is the solution of sin(t)^con(t) = x. Then obviously, the solution of the equation is Q(2).

If you write in wolfram x^-sqrt(1-x^2)=2 you get the numeric sol x=0.4584 so x=arcsin(0.4584)=2.6653+2npi

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf0jetLbFX4&t=438">7:18</a> the inside of the logarithm can be simplified because it has the exact form of cosh^-1(x) <br><br>so it will be:<br><br>x = pi/2 - icosh^-1(e^w(ln2))

It is easy. I can solve it. I have a proof of my theorem, but there is not enough space in this margin.

If anyone was wondering, when i put the sinx^cosx into desmos regression, I get x=2.66536 (radians), which seems to be approximately right.

you'll need to define a new function like lambert W, I guess<br><br>using google, putting in (sin x) ^ (cos x) and moving the mouse at the graph, you'll get x = 2.666... when y is about 2.0003...

What about trying to put cos(x) as sin(pi/2 - x) or sin(pi/2 + x)
