2. Properties of Exponential Functions
Sign In
Notice that e^(52) means that x= 52 in the function y=e^x.
y≈ 12.1825
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^(52), we can use the trace feature to find the value of the function at x= 52. This can be done by pressing 2nd, TRACE, and choosing the value
option. Finally, enter 52 and it will give you the value of e^x when x= 52.
Rounded to four decimal places, the value of e^(52) is 12.1825.
