Integration results puzzle
I have been working with some RC decay problems, so have been using my Prime.
(Sorry, I don't know how to enter equations.) I used the CAS to integrate e^-x from 0 to 5. I get an answer something like exp(-1/5 + 1) I copy this to the command line, hit home and enter and get the result .99326... which is what I expect. When I use the e^x button and enter the exponent: +/-, 1,/,5,+,1 and hit enter I get 2.2255 when I calculate e^x with an exponent of 4/5, I get a result of 2.2255 What is the difference? The only difference I see, and it is real subtle, is that for the correct case the 5 is centered under the divide bar and for the incorrect case the 5 is right justified. |
