Question #4de38

Answer 1

An exponential function and a polynomial are mixed in this equation. It is easy to frame such an equation like `a^x=bx+c` that is solvable by inspection. Here, the solution is x = 2.

Explanation:

Only numerical iterative methods help solving equations like `a^x=bx+c`. The methods generate a sequence of approximations `{x_n}, n=0, 1,2,3...,` with `x_n to x`, as `n to oo`.

A starter approximate solution `x_0` is required for using such methods. Newton Raphson method is one such method..
