Question: The equation e ^ x = 3 2 x is equivalent to the equation f ( x ) = ex 3 + 2 x =

The equation e^x =32x is equivalent to the equation f(x)= ex 3+2x =0. f(x) is continuous on the interval [0,1], f(0)=2, and f(1)=1.718. Since ---Select--- f(0) f(1)<0<---Select--- f(0) f(1), there is a number c in (0,1) such that f(c)=0 by the Intermediate Value Theorem. Thus, there is a root of the equation ex =32x, in the interval (0,1).
