Exponential values
In this example, the EXP function is used to calculate e raised to various powers.
SELECT VALUE {
expontentialZero: EXP(0),
exponentialTen: EXP(10),
exponentialTwenty: EXP(20)
}
[
{
"expontentialZero": 1,
"exponentialTen": 22026.465794806718,
"exponentialTwenty": 485165195.4097903
}
]
Remarks
- The constant
e(2.718281…), is the base of natural logarithms. - The exponent of a number is the constant
eraised to the power of the number. For example,EXP(1.0) = e^1.0 = 2.71828182845905andEXP(10) = e^10 = 22026.4657948067. - The exponential of the natural logarithm of a number is the number itself
EXP (LOG (n)) = n. And the natural logarithm of the exponential of a number is the number itselfLOG (EXP (n)) = n.
