The “exp” Function in R

• Package: Base R (No specific package, it’s a built-in function)

• Purpose: To compute the exponential function, i.e., raise Euler’s number (e) to the power of a numeric vector.

• General Class: Mathematical Computation

• Required Argument(s):

• x: A numeric vector for which the exponential function is to be computed.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• None

• Example:

• # Example usage
  my_vector <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
  
  # Compute the exponential function
  exp_values <- exp(my_vector)
  
  print(exp_values)

• In this example, exp is a built-in function in base R, and it is used to compute the exponential function (raise Euler’s number, approximately 2.718, to the power of each element) of a numeric vector. The x argument is the required numeric vector for which the exponential function is calculated. There are no notable optional arguments for this function. The result is a numeric vector where each element represents the exponential function applied to the corresponding element in the input vector.
