$e^0.62~~1.85893$

The value of $e^x$ is given by

$1+x+x^2/(2!)+x^3/(3!)+x^4/(4!)+x^5/(5!)+...............................$

Hence $e^0.62$ is given by

$1+0.62+0.62^2/(2!)+0.62^3/(3!)+0.62^4/(4!)+0.62^5/(5!)+...............................$

This is a well known convergent series and result is the irrational number and

$e^1=e=2.7182818284590452353602874713527........$

One can also find $e^0.62$ using a scientific calculator, which
is roughly $~~1.85893$
