Hi all!

I'm going to give my Calculus exam next month, i still have real
doubts about solving equations of this type (i don't knoe their exact
name)

exp(x)>x,    ln(x+a)<tan(x), ....

and so on...
I know the solution should be found graphically, please could you
point me to books (available online) or tell me the method to do it?

Up to now i made a simple comparing algorithm on my sci-calculator,
but that's not so ortodox.. :))

thank you and bye!

See ya,
