I don't know how to solve x for things like e^x=20.
The problem I have to solve is x^3+e^(2x)+8=0
Can anyone help, please?

it is equal to x,zwtipp05 said:have you learned logarithms?
what is the natural log of e^x?
To simplify an exponential expression with base e, you can use the natural logarithm function (ln). The natural logarithm of a number is the power to which e would have to be raised to equal that number. For example, ln(e) = 1 and ln(e2) = 2. To solve an expression like ex, you would use the property that ln(ex) = x.
The value of e is approximately 2.71828, and it is the base of the natural logarithm function. Unlike other bases, the value of e is a constant and is used in many mathematical and scientific calculations. It is also a special number in calculus and has many applications in the fields of physics and engineering.
To solve an exponential equation with base e, you can use the natural logarithm function (ln). For example, if you have an equation like ex = 10, you would take the natural logarithm of both sides to get ln(ex) = ln(10). Then, using the property mentioned in the first question, you can simplify it to x = ln(10). This method can be used to solve any exponential equation with base e.
Yes, you can convert an exponential expression with base e to a logarithmic expression. Using the definition of logarithms, you can rewrite ex = y as ln(y) = x. This means that the logarithm of the value y with base e is equal to the exponent x. This is a useful tool for solving equations with e as the base.
To solve an exponential expression with a negative exponent, you can use the property that any number raised to a negative exponent is equal to its reciprocal raised to the positive version of that exponent. For example, e-2 = 1/e2. This can be rewritten as 1/e2 = e-2. Then, you can use the rules for exponentials with base e to simplify further.
