Transcript text: Approximate the number using a calculator.
\[
e^{1.4}
\]
$e^{1.4} \approx$ $\square$ (Round to three decimal places.)
Solution
Solution Steps
To approximate the number \( e^{1.4} \), we can use Python's math library, which provides a function to calculate the exponential of a given number. We will then round the result to three decimal places.
Step 1: Calculate \( e^{1.4} \)
To approximate the value of \( e^{1.4} \), we compute the exponential function at \( 1.4 \). The result is approximately \( 4.0551999668446745 \).
Step 2: Round the Result
Next, we round the computed value to three decimal places. Thus, we have:
\[
e^{1.4} \approx 4.055
\]
Final Answer
The approximate value of \( e^{1.4} \) is \\(\boxed{4.055}\\).
