Is there a way to solve for $x$ given the function: $$y= 3^x-2^x$$ in terms of $y$?

I tried a lot of algebraic manipulations but I ended up nothing. Or, should we say it it impossible to do so?

    It's $\rm\ Z^C - Z\: =\: Y\ $ for $\rm\ Z = 2^X,\:\ C = log_2 3$.2012-03-09

    $x,y$ are what? Natural numbers?2012-03-09

There is no expression for $x$ in closed form as an elementary function of $y$.

    How come? is there a proof why it has no closed form? If not elementary, is there a closed form? thanks2012-03-09

    These proofs aren't easy, and I certainly can't come up with one myself. Do a search for terms like "closed form" and "elementary function" and you may see what you are up against.2012-03-09

    thanks. But, is there a form extending from elementary functions?2012-03-09

    Not that I know of. But I could be wrong - not every function is my personal friend.2012-03-09
