The answer must equal 4856

I'm not good with math, I just need need a problem that equals 4856 that looks complicated. (I gotta screw with one of my guys for something)
And please show work(or anti-work I guess)

1.0133*10^179 = [(x+.01)^(x/100)] + x^3.21 - pi*x

The solution to that equation is 4856, there are an infinite # of equations that can equal that number.

y = f(x)
y(4856) = f(4856)
0 = f(x) - y(4856)

The root(s) of the equation will make this expression true.
In this example f(x) is [(x+.01)^(x/100)] + x^3.21 - pi*x and y(4856) is f(x) where x=4856. You just create a function, which has a root of the desired #, which you have an infinite choice of. Because you gave me the solution, I plugged 4856 into my arbitrary function and subtracted that number from f(x).

Sick

Doesn't work like that... The solution might be very closed to 4856, but cannot be exactly 4856.



What about :

Find the lowest natural numbers x and y such that :
14430*x = 1 + 15323*y

?

Just work backwards? Start with 4856 then do things in that same order so it can be fixed... Like
4856-1000/(5x4)=4806 but add in more confusing things like logs and other stuff :p

how does pi*x ever become rational in your equation? i think you'll need some sort of floor/ceiling/round

It doesn't have to be, the LHS of the equation will be an irrational #. I am an engineer not a mathematician

what are you talking about?

1.0133*10^179 = [(x+.01)^(x/100)] + x^3.21 - pi*x

1.0133*10^179 is an integer, thus rational. it's 10133 followed by 175 zeros. i'm guessing whatever calculator you used rounded for scientific notation.
