lol, no one helped me last time.

Almighty math wizard, what does x equal in e^x = 0. I can't figure it out :x

No solution in real numbers, but in hyperreal it would be "minus infinite"


Negative infinity sounds fine...what about positive infinity?

It's not a solution: e^(something big)=(something bigger), thus e^(positive infinity)=(positive infinity).

Are you familiar with limits? That's the only way these statements make sense in standard analysis.
