Exp x equals e^x

Theorem

 * $\exp x = e^x$

where:


 * $\exp$ is the exponential function


 * $e$ is Euler's number


 * $e^x$ is $e$ to the $x$th power

Proof
Let the exponential function be defined as:


 * $\exp x := \displaystyle \lim_{n \to +\infty}\left (1 + \frac x n\right)^n$

Let $e$ be Euler's Number defined as:


 * $e = \displaystyle \lim_{n \to +\infty}\left (1 + \frac 1 n\right)^n$
