Wolfram Alpha Wrong Again?

in Video Ideas

This was an amazing problem asked by someone else named Andre Amare Bernardo:


Here's how I attacked it:





I had tons of fun solving it, can't you tell?

Yet when I checked my answer with WolframAlpha, I received this:


It could be possible that I made a mistake somewhere, yet I don't get where the mistake could be. Could you make a video about this? Also, please credit Andre for the problem if you decide to do so!

Great solution! If you enter .05 instead of 1/20 it says true. I don't know why, it seems it doesn't like fractions. Also, it solves it by saying log_[n](x)=ln(x)/ln(n) which is a little faster method.
