# how to calculate exp(x) [closed]

Could someone explain me how to calculate "exp"?

Basically I have to calculate intrinsic density for silicon at T = 200K $$n_i=(N_cN_v)^{1/2}exp(-\frac{E_G}{2E_T})[cm^{-3}]$$

$$\sqrt{N_c N_v}=1.3173\times10^{19}$$ $$E_G=1.14736$$ $$-\frac{E_G}{2E_T}=-33.35$$

I need to calculate $exp(-33.35)$

How can I calculate $exp(x)$?

Nothing to do with electronic design. Question should be closed. –  Leon Heller Apr 19 '12 at 22:28
yea I know, but I'm SO user and hoped I might get some help here, as this has nothing to do with programming :/ –  Tensio Apr 19 '12 at 22:30
Maybe try math.stackexchange.com –  Kris Bahnsen Apr 19 '12 at 22:31
Um, calculator? Am I missing something? –  AngryEE Apr 19 '12 at 22:34
yep, it's a function and if I calculate exp(x) using wolframalpha I get correct solution but what does that function stands for and how can I calculate it using calculator? –  Tensio Apr 19 '12 at 22:41

$exp(x)$ can also be written as $e^x$. Most scientific/graphing calculators will have this as a function. The number e is a constant irrational number approximately equal to 2.71828183.
