Can 2^x ever be negative? We solve the equation 2^x is less than 0 by using complex exponentials and Euler's formula with i and pi and logarithms. The solutions in the complex plane are straight lines that are parallel and nicely laid out. So yes, this exponential equation can be negative, unlike what you may have learned in algebra and precalculus.
