Question

f'(x) = 2x - e^x = 0

Answer 1

what do you want to find?

Answer 2

to solve for x?

Answer 3

i want to find x

Answer 4

I believe this is just part of the whole question, what actually are you working on?

Answer 5

Finding the absolute maximum and minimum values of f(x) = 2x - e^x on [0,1]. i'm stuck

Answer 6

ok, good, then the information given above is not correct

f(x) = 2x - e^x
f'(x) = 2 - e^x

Answer 7

You can solve your f'(x) = 0 easily now

Answer 8

i see that e^x should be 2 but wat about x

Answer 9

e^x = 2

Take log on both sides:

x = log(2), log = natural logarithm

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

I believe you know how to determine the absolute extrema

Answer 12

plugging that into the fucntion with the endpoint values and determining the max and min

Answer 13

very good, yup

Answer 14

thx for ur help

Answer 15

you're welcome
