To prove that for \( \lambda > 1 \), the equation \( x \log x + x = \lambda \) has at least one solution in the interval \([1, \lambda]\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the function Let \( f(x) = x \log x + x - \lambda \). We want to show that \( f(x) = 0 \) has at least one solution in the interval \([1, \lambda]\). ### Step 2: Check continuity The function \( f(x) \) is continuous on the interval \([1, \lambda]\) because it is composed of continuous functions (the logarithm function and polynomial functions). ...
