Neither. It is not composite nor prime. The definition of a prime number is a number greater than one that has no positive divisors. "1" has many factorization, etc, and therefore is neither.

Solve X^4=4^X assist by solving for value of x

Anton [14]

Answer:

x ∈ {−0.766664695962, 2, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is a combination of polynomial and exponential functions. There are no algebraic methods for solving such an equation. Graphical and iterative methods work nicely, though.

The attached graph shows integer solutions at x=2 and x=4. There is also an irrational negative solution near x = −0.766664695962. The latter was found by using Newton's method iteration on the graphical value of -0.767.
