Even if it is supposed to be 2x-3, you're factorization is still incorrect. To see why, simply try plugging in the roots you found back into the logarithmic equation, as Mark44 suggested, or even in the polynomial from which you obtained the roots. You will find that they do not satisfy the...

Have you double checked your algebra? After you've removed the logarithms and come up with the algebraic equation, are you sure you manipulated it into a polynomial correctly?

Yeah, personally I would rather work in academia with a reduced pay but genuinely enjoy what I'm doing than work in industry for more money and less fulfillment. Sure, money's fun, important, and overall great but its not the sole thing to base a decision on! I was actually just going to ask...

Oh, well umm, I hope you feel better! That actually seems like something I'd be really interested in, and now I know I can still do something like that with an EE degree. Yeah, absolutely I would say you can! And do you enjoy this job (i.e. do you find it fulfilling)?

Well, that was actually helpful. The first 2 points you mentioned had occurred to me and now you've confirmed them, so thanks for that! And yes, at my school, the ECE's do more advanced math than all other engineering disciplines, even all the way through 3rd year not just 1st and 2nd year...

Hi. I just finished first year mechanical engineering and I'm at a bit of a crossroads. My true passion is in particle physics but for some personal reasons I didn't go into Pure Physics, I went into mechanical engineering. At the moment I'm pondering switching into Electrical because a lot of...
