Root of exponential equation with Napier's number

69 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to find the roots of this equation:

$(x^2-1)e^x=0$

I know that I could solve at first:

$(x^2-1)=0$ which has

$x=_{+-}1$

Here is the problem, because I sketched the graph also with Geogebra and the roots (of the entire equation) are only $-1$ and $1$, but if solve the equation:

$e^x=0$ with $ln(e^x)$ I know that the $x$ of $e$ is $0$.

So should the roots be $-1,0,1$? Why are they only $-1$ and $1$?

Thanks in advance!
