Did you omit an "i" or "j" as part of the exponential function?

Is X in radians or degrees? This appears to be a sinusoid, with a DC offset, and an added exponentially decaying transient. There seems to be an infinite number of solutions, unless the range is bounded. If I am wrong, please explain how.

ya, you are correct,v can juz predict the range of values,and it is of sme transients and DC offset.

can we use numerical iterative methods to solve this?
