EXP

Excel Functions

Find the value of e raised to the power of a number

Syntax

EXCEL 
=EXP(number)

Arguments

Parameter Description
number The power that e is raised to.

Return Value

The constant e raised to the power of a number

Details

The EXP function finds the value of the constant e raised to a given number, so you can think of the EXP function as e^(number), where e ≈ 2.718. The exponential function can be used to get the value of e by passing the number 1 as the argument. The exponential function models exponential growth and has the unique property where the output of the function at a given point is proportional to the rate of change of the function at that point. The inverse of the exponential function is the natural logarithm which represents the opposite of exponential growth, exponential decay. For a more detailed explanation see wumbo.net.

Examples

Example 1

The EXP function finds the value of the constant e raised to a given number, so you can think of the EXP function as e^(number), where e ≈ 2.718. The

EXCEL 
=EXP(0) // returns 1
=EXP(1) // returns 2.71828182846 (the value of e)
=EXP(2) // returns 7.38905609893
