Question

The value of which of these expressions is closest to e?

A. (1+1/12)^12
B. (1+1/11)^11
C. (1+1/13)^13
D. (1+1/14)^14

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

The mathematical constant e is approximately equal to 2.71828.

Let's evaluate each expression and see which one is closest to e.

A. (1+1/12)^12 = 1.12682503013

B. (1+1/11)^11 = 1.13314845307

C. (1+1/13)^13 = 1.11916664569

D. (1+1/14)^14 = 1.11594725281

Out of these options, option B is the closest to e, with a value of 1.13314845307
