Definition
2e^(2x) is an exponential function that represents the growth or decay of a quantity at a rate of 2 times the base of natural logarithm, e, raised to the power of 2x.
A mathematical function where the variable appears in the exponent. It grows or decays rapidly depending on the value of its base.
Natural Logarithm (ln): The inverse function of exponential functions with base e. It gives us the exponent needed to obtain a certain value using e as the base.
