The function f(x) = e^2 is not an exponential functional. Rather, it is a constant function. The reason for this is that in f(x) = e^2, there is no x involved on the right hand side of the equation. The approximate value of e is 2.718281, and the approximate value of 2.718281^2 is 7.389051. This means that f(x) = e^2 = 7.389051. It is important to note that for any value of x, the value of the function remains fixed. This is because the function does not involve the variable x in it. The graph of the function will be a line parallel to the x-axis, and the y-intercept will be 7.389051. For all the lines parallel to x-axis, the value of the function remains the same irrespective of the value of x. Also, the derivative of the function with respect to x is 0, which means that the value of the function is unaffected by the change in the value of x!!!
Not necessarily. You could have done your multiplication wrong. Or in some cases, yes, you could have to use another skill. For example, you can't solve an optimization problem with addition, you need some calculus skills under your belt.
