Exponential Syntax
Y=e x p ( X )
example
Description
Y=e x p ( X )returns the exponential for each element of array X . The function accepts both real and complex inputs. For real values of Xin the interval (-Inf, Inf), e x preturns real values in the interval (0,Inf). For complex values of X ,e x preturns complex values.

Examples
Calculate Scalar Exponential Values
Examine several common values of the exponential function. Calculate the exponential of 0. e x p ( 0 ) a n s= 1 The result is 1, w hich is the y-intercept of the e x pfunction. Calculate the exponential of 1. e x p ( 1 ) a n s= 2 . 7 1 8 3 The result is equal to Euler's number, e. Calculate the exponential of i. e x p ( 1 i * p i ) a n s= 1 . 0 0 0 0+0 . 0 0 0 0 i The result of -1 is due to Euler's famous formula
