Problem
Approximate each number using a calculator. (a) $2.7^{3.1}$ (b) $2.71^{3.14}$ (c) $2.718^{3.141}$ (d) $e^{\pi}$ (a) $2.7^{3.1} \approx \square$ (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Solution
Step 1 ：The problem is asking to approximate the value of \(2.7^{3.1}\).
Step 2 ：Calculate \(2.7^{3.1}\) using a calculator.
Step 3 ：The result is approximately 21.738.
Step 4 ：So, \(2.7^{3.1} \approx \boxed{21.738}\).
