Answer

\(\boxed{x=0.598}\) is the exact solution and \(\boxed{x=0.5978}\) is the approximate solution.

Steps

Step 1 :The given equation is \(11 e^{x}-12=8\).

Step 2 :To solve for \(x\), we first need to isolate the exponential term \(e^{x}\) on one side of the equation.

Step 3 :Then, we can take the natural logarithm of both sides to solve for \(x\).

Step 4 :After that, we can calculate the approximate solution by rounding the exact solution to 4 decimal places.

Step 5 :The exact solution of the equation in terms of the natural logarithm is \(x=0.598\).

Step 6 :The approximate solution, rounded to 4 decimal places, is \(x=0.5978\).

Step 7 :\(\boxed{x=0.598}\) is the exact solution and \(\boxed{x=0.5978}\) is the approximate solution.
