Help please i don't have a graphing calculator and don't know how to use one. Use the table feature on a graphing calculator to evaluate e^1.6 to four decimal places. A. 4.953 B. 0.2019 C. 2.7183 D. 4.3493

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the whole question??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Do you know the numerical value of e?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. that's all they gave me

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

e= 2.7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh..thanks. sorry I'm not the brightest

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

this is something you should memorize just like pi=3.14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks I'll try to remember it!

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Now look at the answer choices: A. 4.953 B. 0.2019 C. 2.7183 D. 4.3493

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be A?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

C. 2.7183 = e, we want e^(1.6) which would be greater than 2.7, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Because 1.6 > 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what i get on my regular calculator doesn't equal any of the choices??

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

So that leaves choices A and D but the question asks: evaluate e^1.6 to "four" decimal places.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh..so D?!

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

np

The answer is "a" or "4.9530", for anyone still looking for the answer 3 years later.
