AI Thread Summary
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
skan
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
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.

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
