Question

e^x=-x+1, how do you solve this? @MIT 18.01 Single …

Answer 1

In this case x = 0 is the solution.

Answer 2

Normally with an expression e^(ax) = polynomial in x, numerical methods are needed. But with yours we can see a solution by inspection.

Answer 3

friend it is easy:just draw the graphs of y=e^x & y=-x+1....>the intersection point is the solution....this is a transcendental equation
