  1. e ^-x = 0 only if x tends to infinity

    so t tends to infinity


  2. there is no solution.

    if you change this problem into logarithmic form, you have

    log base e of 0 = -2t

    if put put log base e of 0 into your calculator, you get a domain error..

    therefore, there is no answer.

    if you still want to solve for t, you could first change it to logarithmic form and then divide by negative to, so you would have

    (ln0)/-2 = t  

  3. This is not possible if you raise something to a power it cannot equal 0.
