To find the exponential of 6 (e^6) on a scientific calculator, look for the e^x button, typically located above the ln button. If your calculator lacks this feature, you can use the approximation e^x ≈ 2.71828459^x. Users are encouraged to apply their mathematical knowledge to calculate the exponentials manually if necessary. Understanding how to utilize the calculator effectively is key for accurate results. This method applies to both positive and negative numbers for exponential calculations.

hi,

How do u find the e^6 or the exponential of 6 or -6 or any number in a scientific calculator?

Thanks

I have a e^x 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:

e^x \approx 2.71828459^x}

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

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
