Solving Exponential equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve an exponential equation by factoring. It begins with setting up the problem and reviewing exponent rules. The instructor then demonstrates factoring a trinomial and applying the zero product property to solve the equation. The solution involves using logarithms to find the approximate value of x. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the steps taken to solve the equation.

Why is e raised to a number equal to negative 3 not a valid solution?

How do you rewrite the equation in exponential form to solve for x?
