Lambert W Function - Introduction

Solving equations with the Lambert W Function For more info on the Lambert W function: Introduction Video: https://youtu.be/pUhA_ETbWj8 Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3V5r2TTyHb64zSf_skaH-_G_NpCIGuKJ Many practice problems: https://owlsmath.neocities.org/Lambert%20W%20Challenge/lambert.html https://owlsmath.neocities.org/Lambert%20W%20Function/lambert.html My very primitive Lambert W Calculator (by Newton's Method): https://owlsmath.neocities.org/Lambert%20W%20Calculator/lambertWCalculator.html Error corrections: Around 4:43 I said that we cut the graph of y = xe^x at -1/e. NO! That's wrong. We cut that function at x = -1 because that is the minimum point on that function not -1/e. But when that graph is reflected to our Lambert W Function that function has a domain from -1/e to infinity. The better view of this is in the graph I do later around 10:12 during the problem x^x = 5. I'll also try to clean this up in future videos and possibly do another similar introduction video that explains this part more clearly.
