Reading again, I apologize for mistaking x^x for x*x- and getting an
easy to get polynomial with 2 roots . Your original x^x =2*x is not
actually a normal polynomial.Newton could be used but the derivative
is so messy that a cut and try approach seems easier.
When you do to get 0^x and get _ _ _ 1 0 0 0 what you should get is
_ _ _ HUH? 0 0 0 where i am using HUH? to indicate that for x=0 the
result is indeterminant. Creep up on 0 and no matter how close to 0
you get -the results are the same. Crossing 0 is a discontinuous jump
directly from infinity to 0
0^ - 1e1000
_
0^ 1e1000
0
0^ 10^6
0 NB: the N^0 rule doesn't apply for N=0 but J isn't recognizing this
Now if you use (10^6)^0 the result is 1 as N^0 rule has a non zero value.**Don

So why does Newton Raphson show a zero root for (x^x)=2*x?

(x^x)=2*x ?

Bo is correct
There is a "zero rule" so n^0 =1 if n is not equal to 0. Bo is correct
the only possible 0^0 is the same as 0*0
Possibly the coding for ^ should take this into account.

Bo,
The original equation is:
(x^x)=2*x
2 is clearly a root. 0 is clearly not, as 0^0 = 1

Skip. (x^x)-(2*x) = x*(x-2) is zero for x=0 and x=2. Two real roots.
Newton Raphson finds one of these depending on the value of the initial
guess.

Yeah, a rational y wouldn't ever quite satisfy 0 = _2 0 1 p. y

Still need those guardrails!

In "Fifty Shades of J" chapter 23, the Newton Raphson algorithm is
described thusly:
Newton =: adverb : ']-u%(u D.1)'(^:_)("0)
How would that be defined using the new derivative verbs?
Also, what is the replacement for d.?
How would I find the roots of (x^x)=2*x using Newton Raphson?
