Step 1 Problem 1: First note that there are no negative solutions. For is increasing in the interval , while the function is decreasing. And there is a root at . Now I would prefer to take the ln of both sides, and consider the equation . So let . We have . This is positive whenever is positive. Step 2 The roots of the quadratic are roughly 0.4 and 2.5. So the function is increasing up to about 0.4, then decreasing in roughly the interval (0.4,2.5). The function reaches 0 at . Then it decreases for a while, and then starts to increase. In the long run, is much larger than , so there is an additional root somewhere beyond .

Step 1 Problem 2: For the equation , note that is increasing, and is decreasing in the interval . Since is below for large negative x, and above at , there is exactly one negative root. To look for positive roots, it is easier to look at the equivalent , or equivalently, taking logarithms, at . Let . Then . Thus f decreases in the interval (0, ln 2), then increases. The minimum alue of f(x) is positive, so there are no positive roots.
