Exercise 14 Page 461

Notice that e^()32 means that x= 32 in the function y=e^x.

y≈ 4.4817

Practice makes perfect

To draw y=e^x, first push the button Y= and enter the equation in the first row. We can write e on a calculator by pushing 2nd and $÷$.

Having entered the function, we press the GRAPH button to draw it on a coordinate plane.

To find the value of e^()32, we can use the trace feature to find the value of the function at x= 32, which is equivalent to x=1.5. This can be done by pressing 2nd, TRACE, and choosing the value option. Finally, enter 1.5 and it will give you the value of e^x when x= 1.5.

Rounded to four decimal places, the value of e^()32 is 4.4817.
