1. What is e to the Power of x?

The exponential function e^x (where e is Euler's number ≈ 2.71828) is one of the most important functions in mathematics. It describes growth or decay processes in nature, economics, and many scientific fields.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator computes the exponential function:

\[ e^{x} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(1 + \frac{x}{n}\right)^n \]

Where:

\( e \) — Euler's number (~2.71828)
\( x \) — Exponent value

Explanation: The function calculates continuous growth where the rate of growth is proportional to the current value.

3. Importance of Exponential Function

Details: The exponential function appears in compound interest, population growth, radioactive decay, and many physics equations. It's the solution to dy/dx = y, making it fundamental in calculus.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter any real number as the exponent. The calculator will compute e raised to that power. Default value is 10 (e^10).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is special about e compared to other bases?
A: The function e^x is its own derivative, making it uniquely important in calculus and differential equations.

Q2: What is e^0?
A: Any number to the power of 0 is 1, so e^0 = 1.

Q3: How is e^10 different from 10^e?
A: e^10 ≈ 22026.4658 while 10^e ≈ 10^2.71828 ≈ 522.7353 - completely different values.

Q4: What's the relationship between e^x and natural logarithm?
A: The natural logarithm (ln) is the inverse function of e^x. So ln(e^x) = x and e^(ln x) = x.

Q5: Where is e^x used in real life?
A: Applications include compound interest calculations, population growth models, radioactive decay, and signal processing.
