We have two exponential equations with trigonometric functions (sin(x))^(sin(x))=2 and (sin(x))^(cos(x))=2. The tetration equation (sin(x))^sin(x)=2 requires us to use the Lambert W function, complex exponential, complex logarithm, and the quadratic formula. However, for (cos(x))^cos(x)=2, we can argue it has real solutions by intermediate value theorem but I do not know a way to solve it algebraically. I know we can use Newton's method to get an approximation for the solution but I wonder if we can somehow also use the Lambert W function to find a closed-form of the solution.
