Unless your school does not allow the use of calculators, in which case a table of logarithms will be supplied, I will assume that the use of calculators is permitted.
Most modern scientific calculators have the functions required to calculate the values above to 8 or 10 figures of accuracy. I will present the answers to 2-3 figurs of accuracy for you as a check.
If you have difficulties, or if calculators are not permitted, please post again.

A. e^10 which = e^(10)
If you have a TI algebraic calculator, press 10 and the buttins (2nd) and LN which is equivalent to ex.
You should get
e10 = 22026.xxxx

B. (1/e^3)^2
(1/e^3)2
= (e-3)2
= e-6
= 0.00xx
I got the answer to the first one. I finally figured out how to use that function. Thanks! NOW what about that second one? How do I punch in the numbers for this one? Thanks!
You do the same thing, except replace 10 with -6, something like
6 +/- (2nd) LN
Got it thanks!
Great!
