Question

e^4x=-x-1
I've tried taking the ln of both sides but led me nowhere near the answer. Please help!

Answer 1

if you are solving for x...I am not certain what you are looking for...graph both sides
y1=e^4x
y2=-x-1
see where they intersect to find x.
I can see no way to factor, or use exponential equations to satisfy any simplificatioin.
