Question

Exponential problem: how do I solve this problem?
xe^x -2e^x = 0

Answer 1

\[xe^x-2e^x=0\]

Answer 2

\(e^x\) is never zero
so factor it out, then ignore it

Answer 3

Factor out e^x,

e^x(x - 2) = 0

Set each factor equal to 0, you get
e^x = 0 which has no solution, e^x can never equal 0.

And the other factor x - 2 = 0, you get x = 2.

Final answer, x = 2.

Answer 4

okay YAY! okay I did it right, i was also wondering about the steps if I did it correctly. THANK YOU SO MUCH @Easyaspi314 !!!
