SUMMARY
The differential equation (dz/dt) + e^(t+z) = 0 can be solved by first dividing by e^z, resulting in e^{-z} (dz/dt) = -e^t. Integrating with respect to t yields -e^{-z} = k - e^t, where k is a constant. Rearranging this equation leads to the solution z(t) = -ln(k + e^t), with C representing an arbitrary constant in the context of the solution.
