    Solve the given trigonometry equation

    I was able to solve with a rather longer way; there could be a more straightforward approach; My steps are along these lines; ##\sinh^{-1} x = 2 \ln (2+ \sqrt{3})## ##\sinh^{-1} x = \ln (7+ 4\sqrt{3})## ##x = \sinh[ \ln (7+ 4\sqrt{3})]## ##x = \dfrac {e^{\ln (7+ 4 \sqrt{3})} - e^{-[\ln 7+ 4...

    Solve the given trigonometry problem

    My question is on the highlighted part (circled in red); Why is it wrong to pre-multiply each term by ##e^x##? to realize , ##5e^{2x} -2-9e^x=0## as opposed to factorising by ##e^{-x} ## ? The other steps to required solution ##x=\ln 2## is quite clear and straightforward to me.
