Question

Which of the following is the best first step in solving theequation below?

Answer 1

The value "e" is a constant value, which is equal to approximately 2.72.

Since it is a value greater than 1, the fraction 1/e is a value between 0 and 1.

The expression e^-6 is the same as 1 / e^6.

e^6 is a value greater than 1, therefore 1 / e^6 is a value between 0 and 1.

The only option with a value between 0 and 1 is option D.

`e^(-6)=(1)/(e^6)=(1)/(2.72^6)=(1)/(404.96)=0.002`
