Did you remember to use E rather than e to denote the base of natural 
logs?  (Or to use Esc ee Esc for a symbol that means E.  If you don't 
know about the distinction between E and e, then you had better read the 
basic documentation about Mathematica.

Better yet, use Exp[x] and Exp[2x].

Mathematica then will give you the value without any further work on 
your part.
