In summary, finding the exponential of 6 on a calculator means calculating the value of 6 raised to a certain power. It is important to know how to do this as it allows for quick and accurate solutions to complex mathematical problems and is a fundamental skill in many fields. To find the exponential of 6 on a calculator, one can use the "power" or "exponent" button and enter the exponent value. The result of this calculation is a numerical value that represents the solution to the expression 6^x, where x is the exponent. This can be done for any exponent value, but the calculator may struggle with large values.

I have a [itex]e^x[/itex] button for taking exponentials (it's above the 'ln' button.)
On my calculator it's [shift]+[ln].

You should have an e^ button (and I'll be surprised if you don't) but if you don't then:

[tex]e^x \approx 2.71828459^x}[/tex]

As well as other good approximations that you might be able to use a bit of your maths you've learned to work out.
