Since the provided expression is a product of two factors,
this product is zero if one or the other factor is
zero.
We'll cancel each
factor:
e^x + 2 = 0
e^x =
-2
There is no such value of x for the exponential yields a
negative value, therefore e^x + 2 > 0, but never
0.
We'll cancel the next
factor:
ln(1-2x) = 0
We'll
take antilogarithm, raising the natural base of logarithm, e, to the 0
power:
1 - 2x = e^0
But e^0
=1:
1 - 2x = 1
-2x = 0
=> x = 0
Since the constraint of
existence of logarithm is 1 - 2x > 0 => -2x > -1 => x
< 1/2 is respected, therefore the equation has the solution x =
0.
