e to the power does not follow order of operations when using variables.
When using ye^x
and x
being any number or variable the calculation does not follow the proper order of operations. Variables are multiplied before they are raised to the power of some number in this case x.
The following equations demonstrate one error case.
x=2
4xe^4 = 3494.28
4×x×e^4 = 436.78
4(xe)^4 = 3494.28
This extends to any variable used before the e
atyxe^5
is the same as (atyxe)^5
which is not correct as it should be atyx(e^5)
.
