May 4, 2013 · 2 Another Wikipedia article of relevance is Characterizations of the exponential function. Which characterization is most appropriate to take to be the definition depends on the context.

Jan 3, 2023 · My question : (1) Do these definitions exhaust the ways the exponential function can be defined? (2) Are these definitions actually different at least conceptually ( though denoting in fact the …

Aug 23, 2023 · For every real number $x$, we define the natural exponential function to be $e^ {x} = \exp (x)$. Where $\exp$ denotes the inverse function of $\ln$, and $e$ is a number such that $\ln (e) …

So here's my proof, using only the definition of the exponential function and elementary properties of limits. We use the following definition of the exponential function:

Aug 22, 2021 · Finding exponential function limit definition from definition of e Ask Question Asked 4 years, 3 months ago Modified 2 years, 9 months ago

Nov 7, 2018 · The exponential function is the unique smooth group isomorphism from the additive group of reals to the multiplicative group of positive reals whose derivative at zero is one.

Mar 5, 2023 · We can solve this limit by using the natural logarithm and the limit definition of the exponential function. Let's begin by taking the natural logarithm of the expression inside the limit:

Feb 16, 2013 · Just a quick note on the comment, there is no need to assume that the exponential is differentiable. Simply define the exponential function $\exp (x) = \sum_ {i=0}^ {\infty}$ and all the …

You should look at the Wikipedia article about characterizations of the exponential function; it has five. As for your question about whether a function can be expressed as a series or not, to answer it I …

Jan 26, 2025 · More generally any function which satisfies $f (x+y) =f (x) f (y) $ for all real $x, y$ is either zero identically or is always positive.
