Question

rounded to three decimal places, the value of the irrational number e is ______. a. 3.142 b. 2.947 c. 2.718 d. 3.615

Explanation:

The irrational number \( e \) (Euler's number) has an approximate value of \( 2.71828\ldots \). When rounded to three decimal places, we look at the fourth decimal digit (2) to determine rounding. Since 2 < 5, we keep the third decimal digit as is. So \( e \approx 2.718 \) when rounded to three decimal places.

Answer:

C. 2.718
