You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(e^x)+ax+b=0
a,b=constant
x=?
how are you solving?
----------------------------
You are adding an exponential to a linear.
One way to solve is to use a graphing calculator
to get the exponential and the line on the
same screen. Determine the intersection.
That is the solution.
Example:
Y1: e^x
Y2: -3x+4
