Question

Solve for x:
.95=[(e^x)-1]/x
Step by step would be appreciated

Answer 1

\(\bf 0.95=\cfrac{e^x-1}{x}\qquad or \qquad 0.95=\cfrac{e^{x-1}}{x}\quad ?\)

Answer 2

lets hope the first one, else im not sure anyone here can do it.

Answer 3

heh

Answer 4

yeah sorry it's the first one

Answer 5

\[0.95 = \frac {e^x - 1} {x}\]
\[\ 0.95x = e^x -1\]
\[\ 0.95x + 1 = e^x \]

Answer 6

hmmm

Answer 7

"Solve for x:" =)

Answer 8

well yeah, you would just take the log of both sides from there

Answer 9

well.. ahemm wouldn't that land us at ln(0.95x+1) = x ?

Answer 10

\[\ \ln(.95x + 1) = \ln e^x\]
\[\ \ln (.95x + 1) = x \]
hehe

Answer 11

that's where i got stuck

Answer 12

hehe

Answer 13

hmm

Answer 14

wolfram gave a weird answer
