Differentiating exponentials and Logs
Differentiate the following.
\nDo not write out $dy/dx$; only input the differentiated right hand side of each equation.
\nRemember to enclose all single powers inside a bracket, for example, $e^{2x}$ is inputted as $e$^$(2x)$, or use $\\ln(2)$ instead of $\\ln2.$
", "advice": "The key fact to understand here is that the differentiate of $e^x$ is $e^x$.
\nThis can be proven by looking at evaluating limits etc. but it is not necessary to do so at this stage.
\nThe basic steps to differentiate an exponential function are:
\nDifferentiate the power of $e$, for example in Part b, $y=\\var{c[1]}e^{\\var{p[1]}x}$, you would differentiate $\\var{p[1]}x$.
\nIn this example, it is $\\var{p[1]}$.
\nThen multiply the coefficient of $e$ by this result.
\nHere, you would find $\\simplify{{c[1]}{p[1]}e^({p[1]}x)}$.
\nThis is your final answer for the derivative.
\n\nRemember, don't be confused if there is no coefficient. The fact the term is there means the coefficient must be $1$, but we don't tend to write it out as, for example $1x$, we just say $x$.
\n\nBasic formulas:
\n$\\frac{d}{dx} e^x = e^x$
\n$\\frac{d}{dx} e^{u(x)} = e^{u(x)}\\frac{d}{dx} u$
\n$\\frac{d}{dx} a^x = a^x \\ln(a)$
\n$\\frac{d}{dx} a^{u(x)} = a^{u(x)} \\ln(a) \\frac{d}{dx} u$
\n$\\frac{d}{dx} \\ln(x) = \\frac{1}{x} ~~ (x>0)$
\n$\\frac{d}{dx} \\ln|x| = \\frac{1}{x} ~~ (x\\neq 0)$
\n$\\frac{d}{dx} \\log_a(x) = \\frac{1}{x \\ln a} ~~ (a>0, a \\neq 1)$
\n$\\frac{d}{dx} x^x = x^x (1+\\ln x)$
