@Math_World_ I'm a bit late to the party, but I didn't find any solutions that used trigonometric functions like I had.

2^x + 2^-x = 2
e^(ln(2)*x) + e^(ln(2)*-x) = 2

2*cosh(ln(2)*x) = 2
cosh(ln(2)*x) = 1
ln(2)*x = acosh(1)

x = acosh(1)/ln(2)
x = 0

Another way to look at the problem.

I've been working on a side project (i.e. procrastinating) for the last few months that I think is at a point where I am willing to share it with the public.

It is a library for hyper-complex arithmetic written in C++, designed…https://t.co/1BgTVIYmn4 https://t.co/oJHJywawJ0
