Problem:
Let be the 200th smallest positive real solution to the equation . Find the greatest integer that does not exceed .
Solution:
Drawing the graphs of the functions and , we may observe that the graphs intersect exactly once in each of the intervals for each . Hence, the 200th intersection has in the range . At this intersection, is large, and thus, the intersection will be slightly less than . We have that .
