Error corrections:
Around 4:43 I said that we cut the graph of y = xe^x at -1/e. NO! That's wrong. We cut that function at x = -1 because that is the minimum point on that function not -1/e. But when that graph is reflected to our Lambert W Function that function has a domain from -1/e to infinity. The better view of this is in the graph I do later around 10:12 during the problem x^x = 5. I'll also try to clean this up in future videos and possibly do another similar introduction video that explains this part more clearly.
