I need help doing these kinds of problems. Thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

/i thought it goes into e^x(x) but am unsure if that is correct or how to find the x's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[xe^x+e^x=0\] \[e^x(x+1)=0\] and since \(e^x>0\) always, set \(x+1=0\) and solve for \(x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

second one is similar factor out the common factor of \(e^{9x}\) then ignore it and set the other factor equal to zero and solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second one I factor down to \[\large x^3e^9x(9x+4) ?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2e^9x(9x+4)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[x^3e^{9x}(9x+4)\] is the right factorisation

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

just check your sign for the zeroes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x^3 = 0 and e^9x disapears right? then 9x+4 is -4/9 so my x's would be 0, -4/9? @unklerhaukus

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Yes that is right, (the reason the e^{9x} 'disappears' is because e^{9x} is never zero
