Homework Statement



Solve the following equation for x:

[tex]e^{3x}+sinh(x)=0[/tex]


Homework Equations



None.


The Attempt at a Solution



It the same as:

[tex]e^{3x}+\frac{e^{2x}}{2}-\frac{e^{-2x}}{2}=0[/tex]

Multiply by 2

[tex]2e^{3x}+e^{2x}-e^{-2x}=0[/tex]

Multiply by e^(2x)

[tex]2e^{5x}+e^{4x}=1[/tex]

then I stopped.

I think [tex]sinh(x)=\frac{e^{x}}{2}-\frac{e^{-x}}{2}[/tex]
 
sinh(x) = 1/2(e^x - e^(-x))

Looks to me like you should be able to get a quadratic equation out of that...
 
ohhhh
sorry

I finished it
thanks <3
