Differentiability
Easymathematics
If f(x) = eˣ, then f'(x) equals
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
eˣ
- Natural Exponential Property: The function ex is the unique non-zero function which is its own derivative.
- Proof Sketch: Using the limit definition f′(x)=limh→0hex+h−ex=exlimh→0heh−1.
- Standard Limit: The limit limh→0heh−1=1.
- Result: f′(x)=ex⋅1=ex.
