Another Question

If you mean "e<sup>x</sup> + 3 = (pi)<sup>x</sup>", then I don't see how this can be done "exactly". Or did you mean "e<sup>x</sup> + 3 = (pi)e<sup>x</sup>"?

That clears it right up. It can't be done.

Maybe it's e<sup>x+3</sup> = pi<sup>x</sup>
 
The first part is right but after the =it is the pie sign raised to the x power.
 
The number is "pi"; "pie" is something you eat.

My bad it is so hard to understand math when it is typed out on a computer because you can't make things look like they look in the book. So there is no answer?

Thanks for your help.
 
There are several ways that ou could have intended. Some have direct solutions. Others don't. Use parentheses to clarify meaning.

e^x+3= pi^x Most critically, this means (e^x) + 3 = pi^x and cannot be solved directly.

We assumed you typed what you meant and came up with, e^x+3 = pi*e^x, which, being tranlsated tecnically is (e^x)+3 = (pi)*(e^x). This one can be solved directly.

The last guess was e^(x+3) = (pi)^x. This one can be solved directly.

So, it depends on what you mean.
