Question: Solving polynomials with non-integer powers.

For some reason Maple just will not solve this...

2.160417096*x^(2.513) + 0.9921351694*x^(0.512) -15.95645167 = 0

It runs for about 10 minutes before I decide to give up.

The only thing I can think of is I had one of those 'lost kernel' messgaes the other day and I closed Maple while it was trying to restart the kernel so maybe that caused some problems with my system...
