Question

how do you solve e^(2x)+2e^(x)-24=0

Answer 1

hint: set k = e^x

now it's a quadratic.

solve for k, and set equal to e^x to find x.

Answer 2

what do you mean?

Answer 3

factor out that, gives
e^(2x)+2e^(x)-24=0
(e^x-4)(e^x+6)=0
for zeroes, take each factors and set be zero. so
e^x - 4 = 0 or e^x + 6 = 0
solve for x ....

Answer 4

the 24 isnt in the exponent though....

Answer 5

no, 24 just a constant
