Solve the following equation, give an exact value for your answer.

e^4x+4 = 5e^2x
 
Your formatting is ambiguous. Do you mean any of the following?

. . . . .e<sup>4</sup>x + 4 = 5e<sup>2</sup>x

. . . . .e<sup>4x</sup> + 4 = 5e<sup>2</sup>x

. . . . .e<sup>4x + 4</sup> = 5e<sup>2</sup>x

. . . . .e<sup>4</sup>x + 4 = 5e<sup>2x</sup>

. . . . .e<sup>4x</sup> + 4 = 5e<sup>2x</sup>

. . . . .e<sup>4x + 4</sup> = 5e<sup>2x</sup>

Or something else?

Since you posted this to calculus, rather than to algebra, I would guess that you are expected to use some technique from calculus in order to solve this. What have you tried so far?

Thank you.
