I'm trying to use the forecasting model but I don't know what number or
operation I'm supposed to use in place of E. In my case, x = 37. I'm sure
it's simple but I don't have a clue. Can anyone please help me out?

That's likely the result of adding a power trendline to a chart.

"3E+06" corresponds to 3*10^6 = 3*1000000 = 3000000, so the much-too-simple
answer is that the function corresponds to =3000000*X^0.3088.

But, first, be sure to use an XY (Scatter) chart type before fitting the
trendline, and second, display more significant digits (by selecting the
function and clicking the Increase Decimal button repeatedly) before using
it for a forecast.
