Q

What are transcendental equations?

Give some examples

A

These are equations containing transcendental functions i.e. they transcend algebra. They cannot be expressed in terms of finite sequence of the alegebraic operations of addition, multiplication and root extraction.

Expontential functions, (ex, xπ) logarithmic (log (x)) and trionometric functions (sin(x), cos(x)) are example of transcendental functions
