The global maximum of x √ x occurs at x = e. Steiner's problem asks to find the global maximum for the function =. This maximum occurs precisely at x = e. (One can check that the derivative of ln f(x) is zero only for this value of x.) Similarly, x = 1/e is where the global minimum occurs for the function
e aX e bX = e (a + b)X; e X e −X = I; Using the above results, we can easily verify the following claims. If X is symmetric then e X is also symmetric, and if X is skew-symmetric then e X is orthogonal. If X is Hermitian then e X is also Hermitian, and if X is skew-Hermitian then e X is unitary.
φ is the argument of z, i.e., the angle between the x axis and the vector z measured counterclockwise in radians, which is defined up to addition of 2π. Many texts write φ = tan −1 y / x instead of φ = atan2(y, x), but the first equation needs adjustment when x ≤ 0.
For example, from the differential equation definition, e x e −x = 1 when x = 0 and its derivative using the product rule is e x e −x − e x e −x = 0 for all x, so e x e −x = 1 for all x. From any of these definitions it can be shown that the exponential function obeys the basic exponentiation identity.
Since e is an irrational number (see proof that e is irrational), it cannot be represented as the quotient of two integers, but it can be represented as a continued fraction. Using calculus, e may also be represented as an infinite series, infinite product, or other types of limit of a sequence.
