Hello Robert:

1. MathWorld:
"The decimal expansion of a number can be found in Mathematica using the 
command RealDigits[n], or equivalently, RealDigits[n, 10]. " (See also: 
HelpBrowser).

2.
FindRoot[Sin[x] - Exp[-x], {x, 3}]

{x -> 3.0963639608966513}

FindRoot[x^9^x == 9, {x, 1}]

{x -> 1.1790679941306466}

Best regards,
