exp

The Exponential Function

Calling Sequence

 exp(x) ${ⅇ}^{x}$

Parameters

 x - expression

Description

 • The exponential function, exp(x), calculates the value of e to the power of x, where e is the base of the natural logarithm, 2.718281828... .
 • You can enter the command exp using either the 1-D or 2-D calling sequence. For example, exp(-1) is equivalent to ${ⅇ}^{-1}$. Note that the 2-D calling sequence must be entered by using the Expression palette, the Common Symbols palette, or command completion. To use command completion, type e, press Esc, and select Exponential 'e'.
 • E is no longer reserved in Maple.  exp(1) is used instead.

Examples

 > $\mathrm{exp}\left(-1\right)$
 ${{ⅇ}}^{{-1}}$ (1)
 > $\mathrm{evalf}\left(\right)$
 ${0.3678794412}$ (2)
 > $\mathrm{exp}\left(1.379\right)$
 ${3.970928713}$ (3)
 > $\mathrm{diff}\left(\mathrm{exp}\left(-2x\right),x\right)$
 ${-}{2}{}{{ⅇ}}^{{-}{2}{}{x}}$ (4)
 > $\mathrm{int}\left(\mathrm{exp}\left(-2x\right),x\right)$
 ${-}\frac{{{ⅇ}}^{{-}{2}{}{x}}}{{2}}$ (5)

In 2-D math notation, it is important to use the Expression palette to enter the exponential function, because Maple does not recognize that the letter "e" is the exponential function.
