  1. Solve the equation \({\log_e{(x^2 + 4x - 1)} = 2 + 2\log_e{(3x + 2)}}\)[5]
  2. Sketch the graphs of \({y = \log_e{x}}\) and \({y = e^{-x}}\) on the same axes. Use your graphs to
    explain why \({\log_e{x} + e^{-x} > 0}\) for \({x > 1}\).[4]

Answer:(a) \(x=9\) (b) When \({x > 1}\), \({\log_2{x} > 0}\) \text{ and } \({e^{2x} > e^2 > 0}\). Since both graphs/functions are always increasing, \({\log_2{x} + e^{2x} > 0}\) for \({x > 1}\).
