The problem I actually wanted to solve was: solve((250/x)^x-6000000000,1.e-5)
Sorry to say, but that is not a good problem description. Try to formulate the problem without the "solve" function and specify clearly what solutions you accept. For example, there is no solution to
(250/x)^x = 6000000000if you require x to be a natural number. You probably don't want that, but your problem description is too vague. If you leave the computer to guess something for you then you should prepare that a possible "answer" is not that what you expect.
Ralf PS: Maple 9.5 says fsolve((250/x)^x-6000000000); 226.3269985 If that is of any help.
