The value of
e^(-6) = 0.00248 to 5 decimal places

Using the expression given;


  • e^(-6)

'e' is a numerical constant in mathematics called the Euler's number . The value of the constant 'e' is ;

  • e = 2.718281....

The expression given just requires that the eulers number be raised to the power of -6, which is ;


  • 2.718281^(-6) which would give the value 0.00248
