Exponential Function: Multiplier for e^-x

Click For Summary
To find the multiplier A for the equation A * e^x = e^(-x), divide both sides by e^x. This results in A = e^(-x) / e^x, which simplifies to A = e^(-2x). The exponential function e^x must be multiplied by e^(-2x) to yield e^(-x). This demonstrates the relationship between the exponential functions in terms of their multipliers.

what does the exponential function e^x have to be multiplied by to get e^-x?

Just solve Aex = e-x for A. Divide both sides by ex.

ex is never zero so it is allowed.
