Properties of Exponential Curves

E's Derivation

• The Euler number, e or E, can be derived as compound interest, a series and Euler's formula.

Log Relation

• Log is the inverse of the exponential function. "Log" stands for logarithmic function.

Insight

• The derivative of the exponential curve's function is itself.

Use

• The exponential curve can be used to model the exponential growth in real-world applications, such as to create a model of a company's revenue growth rate.

Tip

• The Euler number has the value of 2.71828.
