Know and be able to apply the derivative rule for exponential functions.
  • How do you take the derivative of an exponential function?
  • Why is the derivative of e^x still e^x?
  • Why is it a big deal when the derivative of a function is itself?
  • What is the derivative of b^x?
  • How does the chain rule work for exponential functions?
  • What is the derivative of e^(nx)?
  • What is a quick and easy way to find the derivative of e^x at a point?
  • What is the derivative of e^(2x^2 + 2)?
  • How do you find the derivative of e^(2x^2 + 2)^2?
  • What is the derivative of x*e^(0.1x)?
This lesson explains the concept of taking the derivative of e^x, which is one of the simplest derivatives to take, and it is also one of the most interesting derivatives. This is a great introduction to taking derivatives of the exponential function and why it works the way it does. Many different examples are shown, solved, and explained in this lesson.
