Answer

Fill the blanks with: $ e $ natural $2.718281827...$

Work Step by Step

An exponential function has the form $\quad f(x)=b^{x},$ where b is called the base, and is a positive number, $ b\neq 1.$ If the base is $ e $ (the natural base), it is called the natural exponential function. The number $e$ is defined as the value that $(1+\displaystyle \frac{1}{n})^{n}$ approaches as n gets very large. An approximation: $ e\approx 2.718281827$ Fill the blanks with: $ e $ natural $2.718281827...$
