Bob,

NMinimize[{0, Sin[x] - Exp[-x] == 0}, {x, 2.5, 3.5}]
{0., {x -> 3.0963639322936016}}
Sin[x] - Exp[-x] /. x -> 3.0963639322936016
1.1163282104265093*^-10

NMinimize[{0, (9^x)*Log[x] == Log[9]}, {x, 1., 2.}]
{0., {x -> 1.179067993922227}}
x^(9^x) - 9 /. x -> 1.179067993922227
-3.026201333966583*^-8

You could increase the default accuracy if needed, by setting NMinimize 
options.
