The solution set of the equation( 1 - e^-x ) ( 25 - x^2 )ln( x I got ( 0, 2, 5, -5 )

We'll cancel the 1st
factor:


1 - e^-x = 0


We'll use
the negative power rule and we'll re-write the equation:


1
- 1/e^x = 0


e^x - 1 = 0 => e^x =
1


We'll create matching bases both sides. For this reason,
w'ell write 1 = e^0.


e^x =
e^0


Since the bases are matching, we'll equate the
exponents:


x =0


We'll cancel
the 2nd factor:


25 - x^2 =
0


-x^2 = -25


x^2 =
25


x1 = sqrt25 => x1 =
5


x2 = -5


We'll cancel the 3rd
factor:


ln (x-2) = 0


We'll
take antilogarithm:


x - 2 =
e^0


x - 2 = 1


x =
3


The complete set of solutions is: {-5 ; 0 ;
3 ; 5}.

What accomplishments did Bill Clinton have as president?

Of course, Bill Clinton's presidency will be most clearly remembered for the fact that he was only the second president ever...
