Maths raised to the power of e, the base of natural logarithms. Explanation: Although you will deal with many, the most common exponential function you'll encounter is the natural exponential function, written as f( x) = ex. Although the base e looks just as generic as the base a in our definition of exponential function, it is not. The e stands for Euler's number, and represents a standard, commonly known, irrational constant, sort of like π. (Note that “Euler” is pronounced “OIL-er,” not “YOU-ler.”) http://www.cliffsnotes.com/WileyCDA/CliffsReviewTopic/Expone... http://www.friendsbalt.org/faculty/upper/heath/Algebra2/Reso... |
