Thread: Exponential functions help

1) Find the coordinates of any stationary point on the curve y = x - e^(x-1)

i got (-1, -1-e^-2) as being one point is that right?

2)
fine the range of values for which the function f(x) = 2x + e^(1-2x) is increasing


if you could help me with either that would be great, thanks

no

determine the interval(s) of x where f'(x) > 0

First get the derivative. Can you do that? (See here for the approach: http://www.mathhelpforum.com/math-he...ions-help.html). Please show all your working.
