The Python math.expm1() method is used to calculate the value of ex − 1, where e is the base of the natural logarithm (Euler's number) and x is the input parameter. It calculates the exponential of the input value minus 1.
Mathematically, the math.expm1() method is equivalent to ex − 1, where e is approximately equal to 2.71828.
For example, if x = 1, then math.expm1(1) returns e1 − 1, which simplifies to e − 1.
SyntaxFollowing is the basic syntax of the Python math.expm1() method −
math.expm1(x)Parameters
This method accepts either an integer or a floating-point number as a parameter, representing the exponent to which e is raised.
Return ValueThe method returns the value of e raised to the power of x, minus 1. The return value is a floating-point number.
Example 1In the following example, we calculate e raised to the power of 1 minus 1, which means passing a positive integer exponent as a parameter to the base e −
import math result = math.expm1(1) print("The result obtained is:", result)Output
The output obtained is as follows −
The result obtained is: 1.718281828459045Example 2
Here, we pass a negative integer exponent to the base e as a parameter. We calculate e raised to the power of -2 minus 1 −
import math result = math.expm1(-2) print("The result obtained is:", result)Output
Following is the output of the above code −
The result obtained is: -0.8646647167633873Example 3
In this example, we are passing a fractional exponent as a parameter to the base e. We are calculating e raised to the power of 1.5 minus 1 −
import math result = math.expm1(1.5) print("The result obtained is:", result)Output
We get the output as shown below −
The result obtained is: 3.481689070338065Example 4
Now, we use a variable "x" to store the exponent value. We then calculate e raised to the power of "x" minus 1, which is e2 - 1 −
import math x = 2 result = math.expm1(x) print("The result obtained is:", result)Output
The result produced is as shown below −
The result obtained is: 6.38905609893065
