As n becomes very small, `(1+n)^(1/n)` approaches the value of e. We can obtain reasonable accuracy with a very small value of n. `e~~[(1+n)^(1/n)]_(n=0.000000001)=2.718281827`. The graph of `y=(1+n)^(1/n)` is as follows: e = 2.71828... Graph of `(1+n)^(1/n)`.
A quantity with an exponent has three components--the base, the exponent, and the coefficient. In the quantity 3x 5, the coefficient is 3, the base is x, and the exponent is 5. In the quantity 3(16) 7x, the coefficient is 3, the base is 16, and the exponent is 7x. In the quantity 26(2y) xy, the coefficient is 26, the base is 2y, and the exponent is xy. In the quantity r 2, the (implied) coefficient is 1, the base is r, and the exponent is 2. Adding and Subtracting Quantities with Exponents We cannot simplify by grouping two terms together unless they have the same base and the same exponent.
