e^2x
i mean find the point of intersection of y=e^2x and y =e^X+2
\[e^{2x}=e^x+2\]?
Yes satellite , but i don't know how to solve from there onwards.
oh ok
\[e^{2x}-x^x-2=0\]
now factor as in \[z^2-z-2=0\] to get \[(z+1)(z-2)=0\]
so you get \[z=-1,z=2\] \[e^x=-1,e^x=2\] and of course \[e^x=-1\] is not possible so \[e^x=0\] \[x=\ln(2)\]
oh i seeee thank you math whiz
where did you get e^x = 0 from and how does that become x =ln(2)
well the \[e^x=0\] is a typo it should be \[e^x-2=0\] \[e^x=2\] and so \[x=\ln(2)\]
oh ok , but how does e^x =2 become x = ln (2)
like how do you change exponentials to logarithms
that is equivalent logarithmic form
\[b^x=y\] \[\log_b(y)=x\]
yes
they say the same thing. that is one simple explanation. other is that log and exp are inverse functions
does "yes" mean you agree? then it is clear right? \[e^x=2\] same as \[\log_e(2)=x\] i.e. \]\ln(2)=x\]
\[\ln(2)=x\]
since \[\ln\] means \[\log_e\]
hahhaas yes means "yes i agree" thank you genius

satelitte can you help me with this question also find the are bounded by the y axis and the curves y=e^2x and y =e^X+2
