Abstract

It is well known that value at a non-zero algebraic number of each of the functions ex,lnx,sinx,cosx,tanx,cscx,secx,cotx,sinhx,e^{x}, \ln x, \sin x, \cos x, \tan x, \csc x, \sec x, \cot x, \sinh x, coshx, \cosh x, tanhx, \tanh x, and cothx\coth x is transcendental number (see Theorem 9.11 of \cite{N}). In the work, we show that for any one of the above mentioned functions, f(x)f(x), and for a polynomial g(x)g(x) with rational coefficients the zero, if any, of the equation f(x)=g(x)f(x)=g(x) is a transcendental number. We also show that if f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) are polynomials with rational coefficients, then a zero of the equation ef(x)=g(x)e^{f(x)}=g(x) is a transcendental number. Finally we show that the existence of an abelian group whose non-zero elements are transcendental numbers.
