Question 403105: e^x+2=3

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
e%5Ex%2B2=3
First we'll isolate the exponential term by subtracting 2 from each side:
e%5Ex+=+1
So "e" to the x power is a 1. Ask yourself what power of x makes a 1? What power of any non-zero number is 1? Answer: Zero! Your solution is x=0.

If the original equation was actually e%5E%28x%2B2%29+=+3 then please re-post your question and use parentheses around the x+2.
