An algebraic equation, summing exponential and other terms

26 Views Asked by At

I am looking for a solution of an algebraic equation which seems simple... Here it is, for a,b,c,d four constant real numbers, and x the unknown which is also real: $$ x + e^{ax} + be^{cx} + d = 0 $$

I know that without the third term, the solution uses the W function of Lambert.

Does anyone have an idea?
