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 $x$.
