We write an inequality:
This equation cannot be solved using trivial methods found in high-school classes, so we resort to graphical examination.
is a linear function while 
is an exponential one (with limit zero as 
approaches 
). We see that 
at approximately 
and

Indeed, using a computer algebra system such as the ones on modern TI calculators and on many internet sites gives equality at
. By observing our graph, we see that when
