Question

use a calculator to approximate the exponential expression to 4 decimal places.

$e^{8}$

$e^{8}\approx\square$ (round to four decimal places as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Input the expression into the calculator

On a scientific calculator, enter the value \(e^8\).

Step2: Round the result

The calculator gives \(e^8 = 2980.957987\). Rounding to four decimal places, we look at the fifth decimal digit (8). Since \(8\geq5\), we round up the fourth decimal digit.

Answer:

\(2980.9580\)
