It is commonly defined by the following power series.
Exp in mat.
The example you give would have a fraction in the exponent.
It goes on forever but you don t need to know the value your calculator probably has exp x or e x as a function if as i am assuming it is a scientific calculator.
Exponential values returned as a scalar vector matrix or multidimensional array.
The real exponential function.
An exponent is a number placed after another number to indicate the power to which the former number is to be raised.
Since the radius of convergence of this power series is infinite this definition is in fact applicable to all complex numbers see complex plane for the extension of to the complex plane.
What does that exp mean.
Exponential function in mathematics a relation of the form y a x with the independent variable x ranging over the entire real number line as the exponent of a positive number a probably the most important of the exponential functions is y e x sometimes written y exp x in which e 2 7182818 is the base of the natural system of logarithms ln.
Can be characterized in a variety of equivalent ways.
It s used when it is to much trouble or too expensive to add superscript on top of superscript.
In mathematics the abbreviation exp stands for the word exponent.
.
The data type of y is the same as that of x.
The term exp x is the same as writing e x or e x or e to the x or e to the power of x.
The exp stands for exponential.
In this context e is a universal constant e 2 718281828.
Exp means exponential function.
