Try it out; i suppose you have a calculator. I've started with 3 and it
stayed there. I started out with four and there was  range error after three
steps. I started out with 2.9 and it went to 0.1278... again.

So my opinnion and experience is, that you could start with any value
between -oo and 3 and get the solution 0.1278... If you strt with any value
larger than 3 you only get to oo/9. So you always get only one solution,
while eventually requiring the other. Or you can try out where the second
is, by calculating this again and again with different initial values for x.
Where the ending value is not the fist solution and not oo/9  but stays
constant, you got solution no. 2.
