 Reduce[(5 - 5 x + x^2)^(20 - 9 x + x^2) == 1, x, Integers] gives the full solution set of x={1,2,3,4,5} but the step-by-step solutions (see attached) only show how to find x=1, 4 & 5. The two "missing" solutions are the ones where the base is -1 and, while the expression is undefined (since negative) for almost all values between the roots of x^2 - 5x + 5 =0 approx 1.382 & 3.618 it is defined for x = 2 and x = 3 when the base takes the value -1.Any thoughts on why the step-by-step solutions don't deal with the case when the base = -1Thanks,Michael Attachments:

 In addition: Solve[(x^2 - 5 x + 5)^(x^2 - 9 x + 20) == 1, x] gives only x=1, 4 & 5 as solutions!

 Solve[(x^2 - 5 x + 5)^(x^2 - 9 x + 20) == 1, x] generates the message Solve::ifun: Inverse functions are being used by Solve, so some solutions may not be found; use Reduce for complete solution information.

 Thanks Rohit. That's very useful.Any thoughts on why the step-by-step solution doesn't address the other two solutions?Yours,Michael

 Perhaps the programmer who taught W|A how to solve equations step-by-step had in mind only the real case and did not contemplate that Log in certain situations is a multivalued "function". Step 2 in the complex domain is wrong: the logarithm of the right-hand side is not zero, but rather 2n*I*Pi.

 Thanks Gianluca.

 Hi Michael, We do not currently support this in our step-by-step solutions, but it is a new feature that we are experimenting with in the Wolfram Alpha Notebooks. For more information on this topic please see the following quick help page: https://www.wolfram.com/wolfram-alpha-notebook-edition/quick-help/

 Thanks Elif. When you say "We do not currently support this in our step-by-step solutions" what exactly is "this" referring to?Thanks,Michael
