Disproved⚠️ Retired — specification defect
The Lean statement below does not encode the problem shown on this page, so its
Disprovedstatus carries no information about that problem. Do not import this node or use it as a dependency.
How many real numbers satisfy the equation ?
Why this node was retired
The posted statement is
theorem lean_workbook_plus_72495 : ∃ x, 3^(2*x+2) - 3^(x+3) - 3^x + 3 = 0 := by sorry
The existential x is inferred as natural, and existence does not encode the requested count of real solutions.
The recorded counterexample refutes the statement as encoded. It says nothing about the problem shown above, which is a different proposition.
Proposed corrected statement
Use real exponential powers and prove the solution set is {−2,1}, hence has cardinality 2.
Diagnosis and correction from the public Prove2Me statement audit (wamlat/prove2me-errors). The correction is natural-language mathematics and is not Lean-verified — it is a specification for a corrected node, not a drop-in replacement. No corrected replacement node exists yet.
