find the roots/zeros

dude:

Well first just rule of thumb Because x is being multiplied to everything, substituting 0 would make the whole equation 0 \(-2xe^{-x^2+4}\) => \(-2(0)e^{-(0)^2+4}\) = 0 Now algebraically (for other solutions) \(-2xe^{-x^2+4}=0\) \(e^{-x^2+4}=0\) \(ln(-x^2+4)=ln(0)\) Undefined So we only have 0 as a root/zero

Ballery1:

That’s where i was stuck...that ln(0) ... since it equates to be undefine.. i thought there are no roots because i thought when you have one side of the equation undefine, the whole thing becomes undefined.

dude:

Well yeah, the only thing that made it have a root of 0 was because x is being multiplied to the equation \(\large -2\color{red}{x}e^{-x^2+4}\) Otherwise, there wouldn't be any roots Ex. \(-2e^{-x^2+4}\) [No roots]

Ballery1:

Icy now

Ballery1:

Can we do this tho to prove that x = 0??? |dw:1570590590723:dw|

Yeh that looks good
