Solutions of $ \frac{1- x^{\alpha}}{1- x^{\beta}} = \gamma$

Would it be possible to give pieces of information about $x \in \left]0,1\right[$ such that: $$ \frac{1- x^{\alpha}}{1- x^{\beta}} = \gamma$$ where $\alpha > 0$, $\beta > 0$ and $\gamma > ...

Integral question: zeroes of the primitive.

Let $z$ be a complex number. Let $f(z)$ be an elementary function but not a polynomial. Let its integral $F(z)$ be impossible to express in elementary functions. If we define $F(z)$ as $\int$ from $A$ ...

Is there an algebraic solution to $e^{-x/a}+e^{-x/b}=1$ ($a\neq b$, $a,b$ constants)?

Is there an algebraic solution for the to find the intersection of the following two functions for values of $x\geq 0$: $$f_1(x)=1-2e^{-x/a}=f_2(x)=-1+2e^{-x/b}$$ $a$ and $b$ are positive constants. ...
