Answer

\[x=\ln \left( \frac{{{e}^{2}}-1}{2} \right)\]

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{align} & f\left( x \right)={{e}^{x}}\text{ on }\left[ 0,2 \right] \\ & \text{The average is given by} \\ & {{f}_{avg}}=\frac{1}{b-a}\int_{a}^{b}{f\left( x \right)dx} \\ & \text{Therefore,} \\ & {{f}_{avg}}=\frac{1}{2-0}\int_{0}^{2}{{{e}^{x}}dx} \\ & {{f}_{avg}}=\frac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{2}{{{e}^{x}}dx} \\ & \text{Integrating} \\ & {{f}_{avg}}=\frac{1}{2}\left[ {{e}^{x}} \right]_{0}^{2} \\ & {{f}_{avg}}=\frac{1}{2}\left[ {{e}^{2}}-{{e}^{0}} \right] \\ & {{f}_{avg}}=\frac{{{e}^{2}}-1}{2} \\ & \text{The point at which the given function equals its average value is} \\ & {{e}^{x}}=\frac{{{e}^{2}}-1}{2} \\ & \ln {{e}^{x}}=\ln \left( \frac{{{e}^{2}}-1}{2} \right) \\ & x=\ln \left( \frac{{{e}^{2}}-1}{2} \right) \\ \end{align}\]
