Limits
As learned prior to this PowerPoint, e has a specific value
e=2.71828
e is used to show a continuous increase
Where it comes from?
Compound Interest is represented through the equation
Where can it be seen?
Epsilon is represented in mathematics by a lowercase e
Where it comes from (continued)
New Equation!
Since e is used to represent continuous growth, the equation to show this continuous growth is:
In the equation previously displayed, as n approaches infinity, the equation needs to be represented by something that can show continuous growth
Which is where e comes into play
