Question

how would you solve e^2x=3x^2.

I am allowed to use calculator.

Answer 1

I'd graph each side as its own equation and look for the intersection.

Answer 2

is it \[e^{2x} = 3x^2\]

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

shandelman is right

Answer 5

i am having difficulties using his method

Answer 6

What's the trouble?

Answer 7

so the original problem was "solve: 6e^2x=18x^2". I simplified it to e^2x=3x^2.

The point of intersection i got was (-0.3906464, .45781378). What would I put as my answer?

Answer 8
