Provide an appropriate response.Why is e used as a base for exponential and logarithmic functions?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers may vary. One possibility: e is a fundamental number in our universe and is thus known as a universal constant. Logarithmic functions (and their inverses, exponential functions) with base e are a good model for situations in biology and the social sciences, especially those that involve growth or decay.
