Answer:
x=-3.555 i think
Step-by-step explanation:
I tried to solve the equation algebraically but couldn't come up with an answer so i tried graphing the equation like ,
[tex]y=5e^{x+1} +2[/tex] and then the other
[tex]y=2log((x^2)+3)[/tex]
and on both the graphs intersect on only one value of x that is -3.555 so i guess that is the smallest solution for x.
I hope this in some way helps but i am not sure hope some one else posts something
