Question for the math wizzes:
Assume
0 < e < 1
0 < p < 1
g > 0
Is there a closed-form solution to the following equation?
px^(2+2e) + g*(1-p)x^2 - gpx^(2e) - (1-p) = 0
I can find a numerical solution using Matlab, and it works just fine for my purposes, but I’m curious whether it has a closed-form solution.
It has such a “nice” look to it that I figure that there must be a way to re-arrange it and find a closed form solution to it.
