Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution isx=7.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1 Given equation is,

ex2e14=e5x

The objective is, we need to find the solution for the given equation.

The quotient property is given by,

aman=am-n.

02

Step 2 Use the quotient property in the given expression. 

ex2-14=e5x.

The base is same. Solve equate the exponent and solve for x.

x2-14=5xx2-5x-14=0x-7x+2=0x=7,-2

The logarithm of negative number does not exist.

So, discard x=-2.

The solution is,x=7.

03

Step 3 Let us check the answer.

Substitute x=7into the given expression.

e72e14=e57e49e14=e35e49-14=e35e35=e35

which is true.
