STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to find the value of the function f(x)=exf(x) = e^x when x=2x = 2. Watch out! Make sure you're using the correct value for *e* and round to four decimal places at the very end!

STEP 2

1. Evaluate the function

STEP 3

We're given the function f(x)=exf(x) = e^x and we're asked to find f(2)f(2).
This means we need to **substitute** the value x=2x = 2 into the function.
It's like plugging in a number into a formula!
Let's do it!

STEP 4

Substituting x=2x = 2 into f(x)=exf(x) = e^x, we get f(2)=e2f(2) = e^2.
Now, we know that *e* is approximately equal to 2.718282.71828, but we'll use a calculator to get a more precise value for e2e^2.
So, f(2)=e27.389056f(2) = e^2 \approx \textbf{7.389056}.

STEP 5

The problem asks us to round to four decimal places.
Looking at our result 7.3890567.389056, the fifth decimal place is 5 or greater, so we round up the fourth decimal place.
This gives us the **final answer**: f(2)7.3891f(2) \approx 7.3891.

STEP 6

f(2)7.3891f(2) \approx 7.3891
