In a case like this we can try the numeric solver: >> vpasolve(x^3 - 2 == x) ans = 1.52138 - 0.76069 - 0.85787 i - 0.76069 - 0.85787 i. vpasolve gives all solutions to a polynomial equation. Problem 19: Find the solutions of the equation x5 = 1 - x. For non-polynomial equations, it is … ................
