Show that the curve y = 2e^x + 3x + 5x^3 has no tangent line with slope 2. . so far, i've set it's derivative to now i'm tempted to take natural logs, but it doesn't seem to lead me anywhere

We are given with the equation y = 2e^x + 3x + 5x^3. the tangent line of the curve is determined through differentiation the equation. Hence the first derivative is expressed as y' = 2e^x + 3 + 15x^2. when y' or slope is 2, x can't be solved. Hence there is no tangent line with slope 2.

Hey there, francine has 2 1/6 wood left! hope i !
