Find solutions for x by using your calculator: sinx=e^x,[0,2pi]View attachment 27990

So, what part of the problem are you able to do? The middle?

I'm guessing you have some sort of graphing calculator; what you can do, and how, depends on the kind of calculator.

Have you tried graphing [MATH]y=\sin(x)[/MATH] and [MATH]y=e^x[/MATH]?
 
I graphed them both by putting them into y=. Am I supposed to be looking for the intersection?
 
Because the only intersections that are shown are left bound of the axis so it wouldn’t be in the [0,2pi] range.

Wouldn’t that just mean there are no solutions over the interval given?

Yes, it does. "No solutions" is a valid answer. The solution set is empty.

This, by the way, is why we ask you to show your work:
